This article describes known issues for running NeoOffice on macOS 10.12 Sierra, 10.13 High Sierra, and 10.14 Mojave. Follow us on Twitter @NeoOffice to get notified when we fix any Sierra, High Sierra, or Mojave issues.

Problems after upgrading to Sierra, High Sierra, or Mojave?

Step 1 - Download and install the latest version of NeoOffice

Only NeoOffice 2017 or higher will run on High Sierra and Mojave. To upgrade to the latest version of NeoOffice Professional Edition or NeoOffice from the Mac App Store, use the following steps:

Step 2 - If NeoOffice will not save or tells you to install a newer version, try these steps

If you already performed Step 1 above, then you likely have more than one version of NeoOffice installed on your machine.

To fix this problem, right-click or Control-click on the NeoOffice icon in the Dock while NeoOffice is still running. In the popup menu that appears, select the Options > Show in Finder menu item. A Finder window will appear. Quit NeoOffice, drag the NeoOffice application in that Finder window to the Trash, and empty the Trash.

Step 3 - If NeoOffice crashes or does not save, try these steps

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

  • Quit NeoOffice
  • NeoOffice Professional Edition:
    • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
      ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-4.0
    • Drag the selected NeoOffice-4.0 folder to the Trash
    • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
      ~/Library/Preferences/NeoOffice-3.0
    • Drag the selected NeoOffice-4.0 folder to the Trash
  • NeoOffice Mac App Store:
    • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
      ~/Library/Containers/org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition/Data/Library/Preferences/NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0
    • Drag the selected NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0 folder to the Trash
    • In the Finder, select the Go > Go to Folder menu item, copy the following path into the dialog that appears, and press the Go button:
      ~/Library/Containers/org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition/Data/Library/Preferences/NeoOfficeSecureEdition
    • Drag the selected NeoOfficeSecureEdition-4.0 folder to the Trash
  • Launch NeoOffice

Step 4 - If NeoOffice still has problems, try these steps

  • Quit NeoOffice
  • In the Finder, go to the /Applications/Utilities folder and launch the Terminal application
  • Copy the following commands into the Terminal window and press the Return key:
    defaults delete org.neooffice.NeoOffice
    defaults delete org.neooffice.NeoOfficeSecureEdition
  • Launch NeoOffice
