In GNU/Linux I am running the stable and the beta versions and have no issue(s) resembling what you describe. Given the fact that Mac OSX is based on (free)BSD, please try the following to end the OpenOffice instance that you claim 'can't shut down'. Based on ps manpage (i.e., reference) online at http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/FreeBSD/ps.1.html please open a command line window (if you don't know how please check your Apple computer instructions). Once the window is open (the cursor may be blinking or appear as a an underscore) please type: ps -aux | grep soffice output will be similar to: [Mac user] 8171 0.0 0.0 4312 680 pts/0 S 18:14 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/soffice [Mac user] 8185 0.3 2.0 1163080 168188 pts/0 Sl 18:14 1:18 /your/path/program/soffice.bin [Mac user] 15587 0.0 0.0 11560 868 pts/2 R+ 23:48 0:00 grep soffice immediately after the placeholder [Mac user] note the number in the first line, in this example case 8171. You will need to 'feed' that number as an argument to kill -- terminate a signal or process http://nixdoc.net/man-pages/FreeBSD/kill.1.html as follows: kill 8171 and that should shut down your OpenOffice instance. Good luck! Best Professional Regards. -- Jose R R http://www.metztli-it.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1!
