Step 1 - Download and install the latest version of NeoOffice

- Install NeoOffice 2015 Classic Edition if you are running an older version of NeoOffice
- Install the latest test patch for NeoOffice 2015 Classic Edition
- Install Java SE Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle. Note: only Oracle's JDK will work. Neither Apple's Java nor Oracle's Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) will work.
- NeoOffice Mac App Store users:
- Ensure that Apple's App Store application has installed NeoOffice 2015 by launching Apple's App Store application and doing these steps

- Reboot your machine (note: this step is very important because if you do not reboot, the steps below may not work)
- Launch Apple's App Store application, select the Store > Sign In menu item, and login using your Apple iTunes account
- In the App Store application, click on the "Purchases" icon and press the "Install" button to the right of NeoOffice
- Wait for NeoOffice to finish downloading before you try to launch NeoOffice
Step 2 - If NeoOffice crashes or does not save, try these steps
- Quit NeoOffice

- In the Font Book application window, click on a font in the middle column, select the Edit > Select All menu item, and then select the File > Validate Fonts menu item

Find and remove any fonts that are incompatible with OS X El Capitan by doing the steps in Step 2.
If NeoOffice still displays question marks or boxes instead of text after doing the steps in Step 2, change the font to one of Apple's fonts that can display the language of your text using the following steps:
- Select some text in the document that displays as question marks or boxes
- Right-click or Control-click on the selected text
