[Solved] Can't find OpenOffice apps

Post by yayawatson »

I installed OpenOffice 2.3.1 on my Mac OS 10 v10.5.2.

I open X11 first then open OpenOffice to avoid a timeou error I was getting.

Then it opens OpenOffice Writer, but I can't figure out how to get to any of the other applications. Is it possible that only part of the program installed? Or am I just missing something?

Thanks! Lisa

I'm not on a Mac ATM but IIRC Writer opens by default, but you can access the other Apps via a button on the main toolbar.

File > Open will open any type of file: Writer, Calc, Impress etc.

You may be interested to know that with DEV300_m2 and later this will no longer be a question asked by users as there will be a new start centre.
