I downloaded 418, but it wouldn't run - soffice error or nothing, just terminates in about a minute. So I went back to 417 but now that won't run either!
Here is the latest error from 417:

Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

https://libreoffice.org will do. It is the successor to OpenOffice since 2011.

I I got a notice from openoffice of a new version. I've been using open office for years, and (so far) I see no reason to change. Thx.

I used to use OpenOffice from 2001 until 2015 and stopped using it because too many issues remained unfixed. LibreOffice is the same program that OpenOffice would be if it had been developed significantly during the past 8 years. If AOO can not run on a recent system, LO may be the one and only viable solution.

I don't understand this message, or why you are referring me to my own entries on another website? You're annoying, and not helpful. I am running a Mac OS. Eleanor
