Without warning (or clues that the release was so close), Apple has posted the eighth incremental update to its Leopard operating system Mac OS X 10.5.8.

Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. This problem is at least partly a flaw specific to OpenOffice, because if you open the same. docx file in Microsoft Word, and save it as.

doc format, the new file won't have any of these undesired font changes. If you try to launch even the latest version (4.1.11) of Apache OpenOffice under macOS Big Sur (11), and maybe even Catalina (10.15), macOS will display an alert saying "OpenOffice.app cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified".Īnd, even worse, if you save the document in OpenOffice's format (.odt), Word can't open the file.You can still open it by going into macOS's Security & Privacy prefpane immediately after trying to launch it, where there will be a button labeled "Open anyway", but this bogus-why isn't this developer verified with Apple yet? The download page for Apache OpenOffice () has a button labeled "Important hints for OS X", but when you click on it, the only thing it says about an OS X version is "Coming soon".
