Supported Versions and Architectures
Please note:
- Mac OS X 10.3 (aka Panther) is no longer maintained after 2.2. version included

Installation
FIXME: translate .
We suppose you already downloaded an OpenOffice.org Aqua archive ( 3.0 version or superior )
TODO :
- screenshots !!
- explain the .dmg
- explain how to use it
- comment the prefs, where they are located (shortcut)
- describe the preferences, and what is important for the Mac user
- how to locate/remove them
Mount the archive
A double clic is sufficient. If the archive is valid, and nothing goes wrong, you should obtain
[screenshot]
Copy the Bundle in the Install dirC
In the frame, just drag the 'OpenOffice.org' Icon on the 'Applications' Icon : the Bundle will be copied into the Applciations folder.
The next step will start once this one will be finished
Dock the OpenOffice.org icon
What means dock an application ?
Dock an application means put its icon on the dock. This will allow to make the icon always visible, and then, start the application just clicking the icon !
Note: the number of icons you can dock is limited. (say around 40, what is not that bad ;-)
Process to dock the OpenOffice.org icon
1) Go in the Applications folder
2) Drag the OpenOffice.org icon somewhere in the dock (e.g. between two applications)
That's all !!
First launch
At the first launch, you'll be invited to answer a few questions. Please provide us feeedback : this is very important for us to improve the product.
FIXME : screenshots
Personnalisation
Printing
Change the iconset
menus modifications
FIXME: provide examples+ screenshots

Introduction
For most of the keyboard shortcuts in OpenOffice.org, the Mac OS X port will follow the other OpenOffice.org platforms, to maintain consistency and allow people to use several platforms without much re-learning.
Openoffice For Mac Os X
However, there are some special cases that require Mac OS X port to make exceptions in shortcuts, compared to the other platforms:
- Mac OS X System has global keyboard shortcuts that override existing OpenOffice.org shortcuts
- Apple Human Interface Guidelines (AHIG) requires that all Mac OS X applications define certain common set of shortcuts. That common set might cause a change for shortcut to have different functionality.
Apple Developer Connection (ADC) Reference Library: highlights

- keyboard shortcuts that are reserved for use with various Universal Access features in Mac OS X

NSTextView Class Reference
- complete — invokes completion in a text view … By default invoked using the F5 key, this method provides users with a choice of completions for the word currently being typed. May be invoked programmatically if autocompletion is desired by a client of the text system. You can change the key invoking this method using the text system’s key bindings mechanism; see “Text System Defaults and Key Bindings' for an explanation of the procedure.

Mac OS X Shortcuts (under construction)
Introduction
This new section marked with under construction will contain as many as possible shortcuts available on Mac OS X. All these shortcuts are Apple HIG compliant and we should check them in OO.o and fix them if they do not work as expected.
Sections
Please, split shortcuts to smaller sections to make it easily editable. It's a pain to edit one long table. Thanks.
How to edit
Copy complete specification of shortcuts from Apple HIG to this wiki page and add red comments if something's wrong. If we use this way, we can have idea how it should work, how it works and what to fix.
You can find duplicates in tables below. That's because they are duplicated in Apple's HIG documentation. I do not want to remove them to avoid mistakes.
Synonyms and distinctions
accelerate, bind and shortcut
In Apple terms:
- a key may be bound
- there may be multiple keystroke bindings
- the expression accelerator is not always used
- the expression shortcut is not always used.
command key
ADC Reference Library tends to refer to the command key. The command key is also known as:
- cmd
- Apple
On a British keyboard the command key is labelled with a place of interest sign:
plus either of the following labels:
completion of text
In Apple terms: the user may invoke completion, typically using the F5 key.
Completion may be invoked programmatically if autocompletion is desired by a client of the text system.
OpenOffice.org uses terms such as:
- Auto-complete
- AutoInput
- Word completion
option key
ADC Reference Library tends to refer to the option key. The option key is also known as:
- opt
- alt
On a British keyboard the option key is usually labelled:
