Stable Release

The standard version of OpenOffice.org Mac OS X (X11) is 1.1.2, runs on Mac OS X 10.2.x, 10.3.x, and 10.4.x and is localized in English. It can be found at the download page for the OOo Mac port:

If your preferred language is not English, check with your OOo NativeLang project (e.g. fr.openoffice.org) to see if there is a version of OOo Mac OS X (X11) available in your language. These localized versions run only on Mac OS X 10.3.x or 10.4.x, but not both (or on 10.2.x).
