| 512927 | 2007-01-05 08:21:00 | Looks like it will run on 10.3.5 + (www.openoffice.org) It may depend on the version of Openoffice u have. And u need X11. |

Are there any special requirements? No special requirements but you might find it a tad sluggish compared to MS Office but perfectly capable . I use OpenOffice on Windows at home and previously on OS X10.3 at work. |

| 512932 | 2007-01-05 21:55:00 | Yes, we do need some Mac software such as Open Office on the PC World DVD. I wrote to Chris Keall before Christmas suggesting that there are quite a few of us that use both Mac and PC as well as Linux platforms. I keep my fingers crossed. That's right NetGuide do provide Mac software although I have not come across Open Office. Still I prefer PC World, it's more in depth and better value, ay, Chris! Peter A |

| 512933 | 2007-01-05 23:08:00 | It is that, although I found Nigel Horrocks to be pretty good on the Mac department in Netguide. He has Mac mini at home. I am not sure about the new Netguide editor though although I think he did mention something about Macs in his Intro article. ACP Media who produce Netguide though are a 100% Windows setup running InDesign, bit ironic in the publishing industry. It is easy enough to download the updated versions of OpenOffice for either platform though. :) |
