IBM Lotus Symphony
I got tired of MS Word somewhat after 2003. Moved to OO but it didn't feel comfortable, so moved again to IBM Lotus Symphony which suits me down to the ground. Particularly like the fact it opens .docx documents without blinking, It also supports Commenting (which I use quite a lot) and is totally compatible with people who are using Comment in any flavour of MS Office. It comes with word processing, spreadsheet and presentation (it also incorporates its own browser which I don't use very much).
It would rather you filed in .odt format, but will happily file in .doc format (after warning you that there could be formating problems - but I've never come across a problem yet).
Oh yes! It's free too!
Oh, and it has US English, UK English and Australian English (Strewth!) dictionaries.
