DORKYPANTS Interestingly, the Go-OO downloads page mentions NeoOffice and says that it's built on top of Go-OO, while a NeoOffice.org press release thanks the Go-OO project "for their many enhancements to the OpenOffice.org code."

IMHO On November 22 I already installed a Patch 1 for NeoOffice 3.0.1 on my Intel MacBook? Is this a different Patch with the same number?

JOEMIKEB NeoOffice 3 is a full featured office suite and a worthy competitor for Microsoft Office for Mac. It is noticeably faster than the Mac version of OpenOffice and has superior integration with OS X features. I have found it to be stable and capable of handling anything I can throw at it. I keep attempting to use Apple Pages for projects and in almost every case I end up giving up on Pages after an hour or so of trying to format things just the way I want them and complete the project in NeoOffice in a few minutes time. IMO the database module is all too often overlooked and yet it is easy to use and works well. I haven't tried using it to access a MySQL database yet, but I see no reason it wouldn't work very will in that application as well. I have been a contributing user for the last few years and I encourage anyone who finds NeoOffice useful to join me in supporting this very worthy project.

BRANDON MOL I've been using Go-OO http://go-oo.org/ which is an improved-upon build of OpenOffice 3.1.1 with native aqua interface. After installing the newest NeoOffice on Snow Leopard, I noticed immediately that NeoOffice feels LESS Mac-Like and has LESS native GUI gadgets than the Go-OO build of OpenOffice. The NeoOffice build launches a half second faster or so but lacks many features from Go-OO. All of the things that the NeoOffice team point out on their wiki as differentiating themselves from OpenOffice are no longer valid (save a few very minor things that affect only a small number of users), particularly with Go-OO as of version 3.1.1. I used to be a big fan of NeoOffice, but now its dead. I just don't see any reason to use it rather than Go-OO. Besides, which, NeoOffice is always at least one major version behind.

STEVEN GOODHEART Took a look again at Go-oo, and I agree with all the points you make; it's a really nice package, and has great interface. But for me, what for me is the deal-breaker is that I can use the Services menu in NeoOffice and I can't in Go-oo (nor can I use Services in MS Word, of course, which is one of the reasons I don't like MS Word and another reason why I prefer NeoOffice) For some people, this issue won't be a big deal, but if you use Services as heavily as I do, for DevonThink, OmniFocus, MacJournal, and most top-notch Mac Apps, this is a real hindrance. I'm always and often wanting to grab stuff out of my word processing documents, and not being able to do so with a keystroke or with a quck Services grab is a real slow-down for me. But thanks for bring Go-oo back to my attention. It's clearly an outstanding alternative to Word.

LUBA Snow Leopard "... caused all previous versions of NeoOffice to fail to install or fail to launch. This release is the first NeoOffice release that should install and launch on Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard." Well, I've been running NeoOffice 2.2.5 Patch 14 and I seem to not been having any issues whatsoever with Snow Leopard.

KLAGRECA New version effectively leaps past OpenOffice with new features and performance enhancements. Nice work!

JAZZADDICT Can't use the app. When I start typing it hangs and I get a popup saying it can't contact the Spell Checker. Not sure what's up. I have the latest build running on 10.5 on my PPC. I disable my firewall and little snitch but to no avail. Any ideas what's causing this behavior. Thanks. :-)

EASER My wife is taking a course that requires her to access her professor's PowerPoint lectures. Those lectures require the use of special international fonts. I installed those fonts on her MacBook Pro and opened the lectures using MS PowerPoint for Mac. Nothing came out correctly, no matter what I tried. Restarts. Permission repairs. You name it. In desperation, I opened the lectures in Neo Office. Everything worked perfectly. This tells me all I need to know about whether I intend to keep investing in Microsoft. I don't think so. If you've never encountered the FREE Neo Office, give it a look.

OPETER NeoOffice website is down (I think because they cannot pay for the domain and webspace, thats why they are asking for donation). In the meantime, here is a website, where you can download NeoOffice: ftp://ftp.uio.no/pub/neooffice/ Please consider to donate some money to the team of NeoOffice.

DOKTER_MAC Yesterday I tried to patch NeoOffice, which is by the way a very good program and I use it a lot, and the patch failed to update. It was patch 6. Then I installed version 3.0 from scratch, because patch 6 messed up the program, and I was getting a message that patch 7 was out. So there was something wrong with patch 6 like I've thought and experianced... Anyway, I installed patch 7 with succes and now NeoOffice (patched to 7) crashes almost all the time on startup... Sometimes the program starts normal after 6 or 7 crashes and works normal? I believe this patch 7 is a quick fix for patch 6 and that a patch 8 will follow very soon because something is wrong with the last two patches (6 and 7). So for the moment I installed a clean 3.0 again (works like a charme on 10.5.8) and I'm waiting for patch 8. Again, NeoOffice is one the programs I'm often use and I Iove it!!! So 5 stars from me!!! It's always possible that something is going wrong during an update, we are only humans and we all make mistakes ;-). So no harm done, I'm still a big fan of the NeoOffice Project and all the great developers!!! Thanks a lot for the effort, the great program, etc. !!! Greets.
