NeoOffice

NeoOffice is a fork of openoffice, build to run natively on aqua on a Mac. NeoOffice adapts OpenOffice.org code that uses the X11 windowing system and it then takes advantage of Mac OS X's cool Java integration to tap into the traditional Macintosh user-interface elements.

When working with NeoOffice one may experience some 'features' a bit inconvenient. The features one may encounter are:

• Some standard Mac osx commands for cursor movement like ⌘▶ (command + right) to jump to the end of a line or ⌥▶ (option + right) to advance to the next word doesn't work as expected. See keyboard navigating shortcuts for a solution.
• NeoOffice has some 'Microsoft-typical' behavior in which it starts up with an empty text document, so you could type right away. For most users this is probably very convenient, however this is unnecessary if one only wanted to use the spreadsheet and not the writer.
