SHould I write to someone to tell them that the Aqua for PowerPC does not seem to go to the correct link? If I carefully dig some more I find "OOo_3.1.0rc2_20090424_MacOSXPowerPC_install.dmg" which is about the same size as the 2.4.0 version. ![]() The Aqua for PowerPC says that 3.1 was released in May of 2009 and when I click on download I get hundreds of download choices!!! ![]() If I dig a little bit and click on the "Installation Instructions" in the sidebar and pick Apple I find that there is an "Apple OSx Aqua" which tells me that if I have OSx 10.4 or newer I can download "Aqua for Intel" or "Aqua for PowerPC" When I pick Mac OSX PPC I can download "OOo_2.4.0_MacOSXPPC_install_en-US.dmg" If I go to OpenOffice download and pick the "Get more platforms and languages, non-JRE versions" at the bottom of the download choice I get the big list of 20+ different languages and 10 different platforms. I am trying to figure out which version of OOo to install on a Mac PPC running OSX 10.5.4. I installed it fine on my PC (boo hiss) and am now trying to install it on my MAC. ![]() As they more closely resemble Word in their feature set, they may provide a more accurate translation of their documents into Word format.I am new to Open Office. Unlike Pages, LibreOffice (and the other OpenOffice based applications) were designed to closely emulate the features of Word. OTOH, if you have work in plain text format, or new work you haven't yet committed to Pages, you might get a better result going direct from you to LibreOffice to a single translation to an MS Word file which gets opened in Scrivener. odt, then adding LibreOffice to the chain seems a bad move that serves only to add two translations to the process. If all your docs (or most of them) are in Pages format, and if Scrivener does not support. docx format-a step you would already have taken when you exported the same document from Pages to MS Word format. odt fileo, you will need to do a second translation (again to MS Word) to move the document from Libre to Scrivener Exporting the doc from Libre to an MS Word formatted file with a. docx format using File > Export > MS Word.īut opening any document into LibreOffice translates that document to LibreOffice's own native format-open document text, and saving it from LibreOffice (without further translation) results in a. IF the free version worked I'd have to transfer from pages to LibreOffice to scrivener! According to Scrivener Apple has refused to share any info with them.Īs stated above, you could do that, provided LibreOffice (which is an independent application, NOT a 'free version' of any other application) has gained the capability of opening files created with the current version of Pages, OR provided you exported the Pages file from Pages in. Note that the Export involves a translation, and the translation is not guaranteed to be a perfect one From Pages, you can Export your Pages file to an MS Word file. You do not have to use MS Word to produce a document file in. My problem is I have a lot of writing in pages, I do not use any Microsoft word and haven't for years. If curent Libre versions have added more recent Pages document capability, you should be able to follow the route you set out below. I was able to successfully open a Pages '09 document with only minor formatting changes, but when I opened a Pages 5 document, LibreOffice had replaced all paragraph breaks with page breaks, placing each paragraph on a separate page. The version I have installed is about 3-4 years out of date, and lists on the iWork '09 versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote among the those files. LibreOffice has an extensive list on applications whose documents it is capable of importing. I wonder if the free version you mentioned could import.
