this is from the odf converter project the filters are still somewhat experimental.Įxperimental VBA support (from the OOo build project) I think this is limited to VBA in Calc right now.Ībility to access the Mac Address Book (this may be in OOo 2.4, too if not it should be part of OOo 3.0)

The NeoOffice developers have decided to include several extras that are not available in the standard OOo version. It uses the native file picker and print dialogs, etc. It has been out of beta for some time and is stable enough for serious work. It is a 'native' application which does not require X11. NeoOffice is an independent port/fork of for the Mac.

It is currently at an alpha stage available for testing, but without all the features, and clearly labeled as not for production work. There is also an Aqua Mac port in progress that will run natively on the Mac without X11.

This version of is unable to recognize the Java Runtime Enviroment (JRE) available in Leopard, so neither the wizards nor the Base Module will work on Leopard-unless OOo 2.4 fixed that problem, which it may have. This means installing X11 and living with a rather un-Mac like environment. has a version for Mac that uses the X11 windowing system to allow it to run on a Mac. Note that I write this as someone who has used NeoOffice but never.
