Problems after upgrading to El Capitan or Sierra?

Step 1 - Download and install the latest version of NeoOffice

    • If NeoOffice does not launch or NeoOffice Viewer launches, we recommend that you try these steps.

The following steps will force NeoOffice to create new user preference files with default values:

      ~/Library/Containers/org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition/Data/Library/Preferences/NeoOfficeSecureEdition
    • Drag the selected NeoOfficeSecureEdition folder to the Trash

  • NeoOffice would generate an empty mail merge if you select the From: field in the Mail Merge dialog
  • NeoOffice would hang for a minute or longer when updating links in spreadsheets
  • In compressed and stretched vertical text, NeoOffice would compress or stretch Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters horizontally instead of vertically
