Hello, I have an iBook G3 (Yes, call me crazy, but I Literally got it for free from a teacher, and I repaired most of the internals, as well as the screen) I want to have Open Office on my iBook G3 in case my MacBook decides to go haywire (I have a modern Early 2015 Model). I need the link to the appropriate version of Open Office for 10.4.11. Thanks!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
For the pre-Intel powerPC processor range of product, the OpenOffice version is old.
Looks like OpenOffice v. 2.0 or so. And it may require you to install X11 to run it, that
had been (supposed to be) on the Tiger 10.4 install DVD (or CD rare 4 disc set.)
{Previous version MS Word 5.1a was excellent as word processor for Tiger.
However MS Office was a huge drain on system resources to install a suite.}
Have not located the exact installer from the openoffice.org archive but what I did find
was an old link to discontinued Apple support page from a decade ago, w/o content.
System requirements for OpenOffice2.0:

Perhaps something may come of this search:

A NeoOfffice classic edition seems to be new new for Tiger in PPC.

Good luck in this matter! 🙂
