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!

Andy
