| - | #** Attempt to reproduce in corresponding version of OOo/X11 if possible (?) | + | |
| - | #** Search for duplicate (select '''NeoOffice/J''' from the '''Project''' menu) | + | |

| - | #****Navigate through the list until you get to ~/Library/Logs > CrashReporter > soffice.bin.crash.log | + | |
| - | #****Locate the appropriate log for the most recent/remembered crash. It should be the one at the bottom. Each individual crash log is separated by a line of asterisks from the next one above it; each one has a date at the top of it. | + | |
| - | #****Copy from the "Host name" down to the end. Edit > Copy. Places a copy of the log onto the Clipboard | + | |
| - | #****Open TextEdit and create a new plain-text file. Paste the crashlog. (Hmm, isn't there an "export" function in Console.app that will grab the last log entry?) | + | |
