I try very hard to like NeoOffice, but on slow hardware (e.g. - my
400MHz Pismo), it can get a bit sluggish. The newer builds of
OpenOffice _are_ available for PPC, if you know where to look (see
below). You can try both and see which you prefer. Note that the 'Neo'
builds typically lag the OpenOffice builds by at least one release
version (e.g. - IIRC, the current Neo release is based on a 3.0.x
OpenOffice build, while OO is at 3.2.x). That may or may not be a good
thing, depending on what feature set or level of reliability you want.
The Neo folks do, at times, squash bugs in the OO code, but spend most
of their limited resources on the Neo adaptation and its additional features.

this link works
http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/2.4.3rc2/OOo_2.4.3rc2_MacOSXPowerPC_X11_install_it.dmg
for the latest openoffice 2.4.3-RC2, tested by myself but on a emac 1GHz
(might works on a PPC) but doesn't handle office 2007 x files, it will
only from 3.x
