Apache OpenOffice is both an Open Source product and a project. The product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program, with a user interface and feature set similar to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible, Apache OpenOffice also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office.

Bug Fixes
Known Issues
- Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 will be flagged by the new Gatekeeper facility in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks. This is a new feature to help guard against malware on Mac systems. 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.
- Any extensions that are written in C++ for AOO 4.0 (or earlier) will no longer work and be marked as disabled in the AOO extensions manager. This is because of the change of AOO from a 32-bit to a 64-bit application on OS X. Please report the problem to the developer of the extension.
- Dictionaries for Spell Check are temporarily only included in complete localized Installers and not in Language packs (Issue 124423). They can be installed as extensions using Tools->Extension Manager.
