From memory, they run very slowly.
I also have an educated distrust of all Microsoft applications
for the Macintosh with the possible exception of IE.

Do you actually need to run them or just read and write files in
those formats ?  ClarisWorks is far smaller, cheaper, faster, and
reads and writes files in both those formats.
