If the G3 had usb support -- ie a usb keyboard and mouse you can run OSX 10.3 or earlier -- if it is older than that then I would install Yellow Dog Linux version 3.whatever. You will be able to dual boot the mac into either OS 9 or Linux, run open office under linux and they is a fairly decent mac emulator called Mac on Linux that is part of the package, and will allow you to run many mac programs in an OS 9 window with Linux running.

The other, much simpler, choice would be to run MS office on your OS 9 machine and save your neo office docs as MS office. If you are running into formatting issues with that now, I would guess that you need to make sure the fonts match on both machines.

Have fun!

To whom it may concern:

My name is David Coughlin.  I am a professor at Kyushu International
University in Japan. In my home I have a new iMac and I use Neo Office
software.  I like this software very much and use it almost daily.  Mt
problem is that in my office at the University I have an old Mac G3, which I
believe will not accommodate system X.

I want to find a version of Neo Office that I can use in system 9, so that both computers can read my floppy disks etc., and things like my column
separations will come out the same on both computers.

Can you help  me?

Sincerely yours,

David A. Coughlin
Professor, Kyushu International University.
