Hello Freddy,
Trying to run Office 2004 on a 450 MHz G3 using a version of OS X would be a
struggle. Sorry, but your Mac doesn't have what's needed for the current OS
and a memory hog like Office. Even on a 2-year-old 667 MHz processor with
512 MHz RAM and a fast-access hard drive, as my daughter has, Office is
slow.
Your best configuration on your machine would probably be OS 9.2.2 running
Office 2001, which should be available cheaply, e.g. on e-Bay.
Cheers,

* A SUGGESTION ‹ WAIT FOR CONSIDERED ADVICE: If you post a question, keep
re-visiting the newsgroup for several days after the first response comes
in. Sometimes it takes a few responses before the best or complete solution
is proposed; sometimes you'll be asked for further information so that a
better answer can be provided. Good tips about getting the best out of
posting are at

and it gives you a blank page the first time, you may need to hit the
circular arrow icon -- "Reload the current page" -- a few times).
* AND ONE MORE ‹ AVOID SPAM: To avoid spam directed at contributors of
newsgroups, you can set up a "send-only" dummy e-mail account. Full
