NeoOffice 2017 is based on the LibreOffice 4.4 code. Because earlier versions of NeoOffice were based on the much older OpenOffice 3.1.1 code, some users have found that when printing some mail merge documents that were saved in NeoOffice 2015 or earlier, NeoOffice 2017 may insert blank pages in the printed output.

To help simplify upgrading to NeoOffice 2017, we have added the following workaround for printing mail merge documents in the NeoOffice 2017 Upgrade Issues NeoWiki article:

We have released NeoOffice Invoice 1.3 in the Mac App Store. NeoOffice Invoice is an easy to use app that helps you quickly create invoices for billing your customers.

This version fixes a bug that caused the Search text field in the View Invoices panel to fail. This version also adds the ability to enlarge the application window.

Important note for non-English users: while this version supports the currency and number formatting used in most countries, all invoices use U.S. English text.

If you already purchased NeoOffice Invoice in the Mac App Store and you are running macOS Sierra or higher, you can upgrade to NeoOffice Invoice 1.3 for free. To upgrade, launch the App Store application, select the Store > Sign In menu item, login using your Apple iTunes account, click on the "Purchased" icon, and press the "Install" or "Upgrade" button to the right of NeoOffice Invoice.

To help simplify upgrading to NeoOffice 2017, we have added the following steps to correct custom starting page numbers in the NeoOffice 2017 Upgrade Issues NeoWiki article:
