I've downloaded the open office app. from http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/download/ but everytime I try to start it - it hangs and gives me the X11 window. I am not being able to install it even when I delete the application and re-download and re-install it. Help!!
I tried opening it in Microsoft Word (2007) and it wont work. Tried it in OOO and that doesn't work either. Any ideas on how I could go about doing this? Any plug-ins that would help??
I have just recently started using Calc. Love it as an alternative to Excel! However, I find it's slow and crashes when working with spreadsheets with more than ~ 2,000 rows at times. What has been other members experience with OpenOffice and Calc in particular? Are there any options/settings that I could change to improve the speed or prevent it from crashing when working with large files? Thanks!
