Yes, indeed, Open Office. Not only is it totally free but it might as
well be a clone of MS Office 2003. I've used it for several years on my
Linux machines at my business. I've also installed it on our Windows
machines. It worked flawlessly with Windows XP, etc etc.

I can offer the same approval as others as i've used and advised many
(with NO complaints) on using the "Open Office" BUT thats for the PC
(Gates) machine users. Yesterday though i was "experimenting" on my
own Mac (OSX) and i was unable to report back clean loading. I tried
two systems my G5 & G4 and in both cases the system reported back that
it was unable to load as it could not find OS11 component. But as i
have Word and Pages, i left it to return back to at a latter date. Now
if any one else has come across this plese let me know.

Not sure what all you tried, but OO's web site gives specific directions
to load the x11 components BEFORE loading Open Office. Since they use x11
video drivers instead of the default OsX drivers.

I run straight Linux (SUSE 10) and Open Office and it works great not only
Word but all the other parts too. (excell presentations etc etc)

Try this link it is a free port of open office specifically for Mac OS X
without using the x11 drivers.
