just before i upgrade to leopard...

I have the leopard disk that Apple gave to me free, because I had brought my iMac just before leopard came out.. but i have been holding back until Pro Tools released an update to work with leopard...

now that it has (see - http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=48&langid=51&itemid=32890&ref=pt742uk-m) ... i am wandering if some of my other programs will too.

I have Office 2004 which i brought just over a year ago, and also my friend has kindly donated me his old copy of Adobe Creative Suite CS3.. which i believe is also about a year and so old...

Will these programs work on Leopard? If not, are there updates or patches I can download? I hope I don't have to buy new versions of these pieces of software, as cash is very tight right now.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

You may want to look at this Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard: Software Incompatibilities. You should also check the maker of the software that you have to see if there is a later version available.
