Thank goodness I've since switched to Markdown for all my document needs. For spreadsheets, Apple's Numbers is looking quite tempting. Or I'll just stick with LibreOffice for the once in a blue moon I do need spreadsheets.

That last point extends to international languages as well ONLY NeoOffice handles them well!!! I JUST tried LibreOffice, its negligibly faster-how that would help anyone type faster is beyond me, though-and renders international type faces incorrectly and, just like OOo, it chews up RTL languages badly.
I'll stick with NeoOffice. It helps me keep Micro$loth off of my computer and without its abilities OOo and LibreOffice are like having extra, bloated TextEdit apps on my hard drive.

As a commercial program it is however cheap, lacking in support and has a few more bugs than one should accept as a buyer of a commercial program. Slow, and crashes a lot.
As a free program - with REAL donations and not fees in disguise - I could easy have given this an average of 3 stars. But since I see this as a commercial program I don't think it is worth to pay for.

Sure, 'your' time is worth something. If you spend a combined 80/wk, the two of you are working at this all week. You deserve to be paid.
Maybe sell each dot upgrade for five bucks? I'm sure each and every Mac running NeoOffice, could manage that expense. Have single and corporate accounts, maybe.
Or sell it at Mac App Store for 3-4 bucks per upgrade. [Personally, I'd much prefer paying with the App Store]
Maybe get corporate sponsors. "NeoOffice... brought to you by."
Apple 'Pages' sells for 15 bucks. But, then it doesn't get upgraded very often.
Just some thoughts. I think the license 'allows' you to make money. It's just that, the notion of a manditory "donation" seems bizarre.
Anyway, continued success.

The problem is the bait-and-switch tactic, particularly as was - and still is - an open-source product. If I get hold of it, it's actually legal for me to give it away to as many people as I want, put it on my website, whatever I like.
Asking for a donation is one thing; most open-source projects do. Selling something is another thing. But NeoOffice doesn't do either, and instead uses the rather insulting pretense of still calling it a donation. Be honest, and call it what it is. It's like if the museum stopped saying "suggested donation: $X" and instead wouldn't let you in the front door without giving them $X but still called it a "donation". (In actuality, it's technically a subscription, since your donation from 12 months ago means nothing; you have to keep paying.)
To summarize: sell it, give it away, whatever. But quit with the stupid word games.

NeoOffice got it all wrong.

If *you* were to tweak the program and make neatly packaged disks to be sent out via UPS--- "Open Source" does NOT prevent you from charging for your packaging/distribution nor require you to provide support.
It does require you to make your coding available for free.

I have no problem with NeoOffice wanting to get paid for their effort.

Also, I understand the need to cover costs, survive, etc… but a *mandatory* donation is not a *donation* at all - it is a fee.

Since NeoOffice begun their unfair treatment against their users I've used this real OpenSource Office Pack.
BTW: If you use OpenSource, like NeoOffice is doing, and you don't change a thing to it you can't ask money for it. Donations okay! But blocking OpenSource software unless you pay for a donation is a commercial project! They are walking on a thin line and they know it. That's why they release this update.
Be sure, NeoOffice has programmers enough! It's the money they want without changing a thing in the source. Free source btw, which you still can download for free and compile!!! And yes I'm talking about the so called payed version which is blocked for users who can't compile the source. I really h*t* them for that!
Sincerely and I'm really sorry for my language. But this/they make me so angry :@ ...

That said, I use LibreOffice ever since NeoOffice went to a mandated $10 "donation." Donations are voluntary; mandating them is a fee and makes NeoOffice a commercial application based upon FOSS software. IMHO the NeoOffice team is within their legal and moral rights to charge for their software if they wish.
For those who pay- at least in the past- the NeoOffice team was very fast to address and correct issues with their software. I had them fix something within a couple of hours and have a new patch out for everyone; you won't get that with LibreOffice or OpenOffice (and that's the sort of thing you are paying for with that $10).
All that being said, somehow the NeoOffice thing has rubbed me the wrong way and I have converted to LibreOffice, incompetent print dialogs and all.

with the message "One or more BSD commands were not found on this machine."
Presently I have 3.1.1 patch 0 installed. No errors occurred during the previous install. Also BSD is part of 10.4.
Any suggestions anyone?

thank you for the solution, SCOTTDB
When I click to start NeoOffice, it bounces in the dock for a while then stops. When I right click on it, it says "Application Not Responding."
Any idea why the app is not starting up properly?
However, if I go to the actual menu it works just fine.
It is a minnor detail, other than that it works perfectly.
Great Ap!

The installer says it can't find a NeoOffice 2.0 Beta 3 installation.
Huh?
