After receiving notification of the availability of Open Office 4.1.0, in which it was stated that the update was suitable for Mac OS X 10.3 onwards, I downloaded the relevant file … noting that it stated:

However when I attempted to run the instal, a message was displayed indicating that this could not proceed as my version of Mac OS X was not suitable - I run OS X 10.6.8.
You could use MS Office for Mac, for maximum compatibility with Windows users. If you don't want MS Office for some reason, there are many alternatives, such as iWork, NeoOffice, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Google Docs, etc. I haven't tested all of those, so I don't know if they can all open.docx files, but certainly MS Office for Mac does. The last OpenOffice version supporting Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), 10.5 (Leopard), 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is OpenOffice 4.0.1. Hardware Requirements CPU: Intel Processor.

Hi Alan,
Libreoffice Mac Os X 10.6 8
Depends what OSX version he is on...
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If 10.6.8 or less, 2 options...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
Or...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
PS. I'd hold off on Yosemite until it get more fixes.
