Dedication: The Project wants to dedicate this Release of Apache OpenOffice to the memory of Jörg Schmidt, who recently passed away. Jörg was a firm advocate of OpenOffice, as well as contributing to the German language documentation. He was active on the development mailing list as well as the German language lists. His strong advocation as well will be greatly missed. Jörg joined the project in 2013 as a committee member but was also quite active before. Apache OpenOffice will be flagged by the Gatekeeper facility in macOS. This is a feature to help guard against malware on Mac systems. The Apache OpenOffice disk images are signed by Apache as required by Apple, but Gatekeeper may still be triggered. If that happens, please follow the steps below. For macOS up to 10.11 “El Capitan”: There is a procedure laid out at the following link to allow applications not installed from the Mac App Store to run. See the Mac support article. For macOS 10.12 “Sierra” and up In Finder, Control-click, or right-click the icon of the app. Select Open from the top of the contextual menu that appears. Click Open in the dialog box. If prompted, enter an administrator name and password. This is needed just the first time you launch Apache OpenOffice. Due to a known bug in Oracle Java, installations of Apache OpenOffice on macOS that do not have the legacy Apple Java 6 installed will not be able to recognize Oracle Java 7, 8, and 9. If not able to upgrade to Java 9, then install the legacy version of Apple Java from the following link: Legacy Apple Java 6. This allows the portions of AOO that require Java to run properly. For Windows Users. Apache OpenOffice supports Java 8 (32-bit), which is the recommended configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019. Note: You MUST have a 32-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) even on a 64-bit machine.
