From another member of this mailing list: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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!
