Dear guy who doesn't allow comments on his site,

Have you tried LibreOffice instead? If so, have you filed a bug report?

Sincerely, HN Reader.

You can stand down, now.

Dear Upset guy,

Try a different build (as it looks like yours is broken), consider using Go-OO (http://www.go-oo.org/) which is much better than straight OO anyway. Don't forget to uninstall before reinstalling and check your appdata folder for leftover config data.

Hope this helps, hugs and kisses,

iuguy

Going forward, the Go-oo project will be discontinued in favor of LibreOffice, as stated on http://go-oo.org/

By the way people, I installed OO.org 3.3 beta for Mac from Oracle, should I nuke it for LibreOffice or is OO.org cool for now? Thx!

Dear..., it's spelled OpenOffice.org, not OpenOffice.

You were downvoted but I think this is an important point.

The subject appears to be clear however OpenOffice.org is called just that as OpenOffice is a different application and IIRC they had a slight trademark tussle and OOo ended up telling everyone that they had to refer to it as such not simply "open office". This was all eons ago in internet time and I can't find a good citation quickly.

There is also now possibility of confusion with Oracle Open Office (perhaps this is what you meant) which is a commercial version based on OpenOffice.org. Unfortunately one really needs clarity to be sure which software exactly he's complaining about.
