Shari, It's easy to install AOO on OSX. Just remember the first time running it you will need to "Right" click or "Control" click the icon to open it and let the OS know that it is okay to run the software. Since AOO doesn't come from the App store it isn't in the OS's library of okay software, this is part of OSX's protection against malware.

I do not have Mavericks. Anyway, I highly recommend both Mac and OO for ordinary people use. ernie On Feb 25, 2014, at 6:54 PM, Shari Lynn Smith wrote: > Hi, I am a PC user and have been an OO user for a long time, and have > converted most of my family... however my nephew is now looking to purchase > a Mac and has gotten conflicting information about running AOO on a Mac (at > the store & from others), from what I've seen in forums, and online I think > it can work on a Mac.
