StarOffice 9 Readme for Mac OS X Notes on Installation System Requirements Problems During Program Startup Important Accessibility Notes

StarOffice 9 Readme for Mac OS X This file contains important information about this program. Please read this information very carefully before you begin. Notes on Installation System Requirements Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) or higher Intel processor 512 MB RAM 500 MB (multi-language version: 800 MB) available hard disk space Chinese, Japanese and Korean versions: 600 MB (multi-language version: 800 MB) available hard disk space) 1024 x 768 graphic device with 256 colors (higher resolution recommended) Please make sure you have enough free memory in the temporary directory on your system and that read, write and run access rights have been granted. Close all other programs before starting the installation. The UNIX versions of StarOffice cannot be installed on a (V)FAT partition, since FAT file systems do not support the creation of symbolic links. The path for the StarOffice installation directory must not contain a space. Problems During Program Startup If you experience StarOffice startup problems (most notably while using Gnome) please {{unset}} the {{SESSION_MANAGER}} environment variable inside the shell you use to start StarOffice. This can be done by adding the line {{unset SESSION_MANAGER}} to the beginning of the soffice shell script found in the {{\[office folder\]/program}} directory. Difficulties starting StarOffice (for example, applications hang) as well as problems with the screen display are often caused by the graphics card driver. If these problems occur, please update your graphics card driver or try using the graphics driver delivered with your operating system. Difficulties displaying 3D objects can often be solved by deactivating the option _Use OpenGL_ in _Tools > Options > StarOffice > View > 3D view_. Important Accessibility Notes For more information on the accessibility features in StarOffice, see [http://www.openoffice.org/access/]. h2. Shortcut Keys Only shortcut keys (key combinations) not used by the operating system can be used in StarOffice. If a key combination in StarOffice does not work as described in the StarOffice Help, check if that shortcut is already used by the operating system. To rectify such conflicts, you can change the keys assigned by your operating system. Alternatively, you can change almost any key assignment in StarOffice. For more information on this topic, refer to the StarOffice Help or the Help documention of your operating system. Due to a conflict with input method switching on multiple platforms, the following shortcut keys required to be changed at last minute: Ctrl-Space (Mac: Cmd-Space) is now Ctrl-Shift-Space (Mac: Cmd-Shift-Space) Ctrl-Shift-Space (Mac: Cmd-Shift-Space) is now Ctrl-M (Mac: Cmd-M) h2. File Locking File locking is enabled by default in StarOffice. On a network that uses the Network File System protocol (NFS), the locking daemon for NFS clients must be active. To disable file locking, edit the soffice script and change the line export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING to # export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING If you disable file locking, the write access of a document is not restricted to the user who first opens the document. h2. Using Info-ZIP StarOffice uses Info-ZIP to create and unpack the StarOffice installation, as well as for packing and unpacking the StarOffice XML file format. Info-ZIP programs (ZIP, UnZip and other utilities) are available free of charge and can be used in the source code and as an executable program. They can be attained by visiting Anonymous FTP sites such as ftp.uu.net:/pub/archiving/zip/*. h2. Used / Modified Source Code Portions Copyright 1998, 1999 James Clark.

Adabas End-of-Feature Note The option of installing a limited version of the Adabas Database Engine with StarOffice is no longer available in this releases of StarOffice. For more information about the Adabas Database Engine please refer to the Software AG website at [http://www.softwareag.com/adabas].
