Thanks in advance for any help! > Might try pre-built packages and see if they might work for you. No guarantee they will. Notice there are two directories at the bottom for 8, so probably the rest are for 7.x. Haven't used these in a while so YMMV. Might also be tricky picking out the right file(s) from the clutter. The main app will be about ~147-150MB with a second language pack that is small. Don't know exactly how much the newer versions depend on Java. Used to be a lot of the filters were java based and once upon a time some time back I remember this being a source of some 'uh ohs'. ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/ -Mike
