Image and Word editing for 10.5.8 Leopard

[tojaytay66]

As a first time Mac user I am frustrated that I cannot seem to find a suitable download to save and edit images and documents. I have tried downloading a few programs without success. Can anyone please help? All the downloads I have tried say that the platform is not supported or that the software is Intel based.

I highly recommend Bean as a lightweight word processor. It works well on my AppleTV running 10.5.8.

Hu, after 8 years of silence, the OP might already have found a solution ... 😄

But he maybe found inbuilt "Preview" & "TextEdit", "Gimp", "Paintbrush", "AppleWorks", "MS Office '04/'08" and "OpenOffice/LibreOffice" etc. to be very useful for his purposes.
Now, after all these years, MacintoshGarden is the first source to look for all that precious stuff made for PPC.
