"OpenOffice.org is both an Open Source product and a project. The product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program, with a user interface and feature set similar to other office suites’. Sophisticated and flexible, OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office."
This is the same platform which is used in the SunOffice system (which I have running on one of my machines which operates on Linux). It's not Microsoft office -- but it's free!
Actually, the best deal in word processing is the WordPerfect Family pack ($49 msr). You can get it for $23 from amazon.com. This is a full version of WordPerfect and it's better than anything you can get for free. WordPerfect is by far more powerful and easier to use than Word or the OpenOffice processor.
