Are you looking to upgrade your office software to the latest version of Apache OpenOffice? If so, this guide will walk you through the process of installing OpenOffice 4.0.1 on your Mac.

Before we begin, it's essential to note that each version of OpenOffice has its own startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. This means that if you already have an older version installed, you'll need to take a few extra steps to ensure a smooth installation process.

Removing Older Versions

If you're currently running OpenOffice 3.x and want to upgrade to 4.0.1, you'll need to remove the older version first. To do this, select 'Remove all older product versions' during the installation process. This will allow you to keep your current files and settings while installing the new version.

Downloading and Installing OpenOffice

Once you've removed any older versions, you can download and install Apache OpenOffice 4.0.1. You'll need to follow these steps:

* Unpack and install the downloaded Apache OpenOffice 4.x files

* Download and install Java JRE if you need the features that are Java-dependent
