Last time I tried one was NeoOffice about three weeks ago.  No matter  
what I did it wouldn't open my file correctly (or even remotely  
close), I would have had to redo the entire document but since it was  
in Japanese I was S.O.L.  It still seemed as though it should be an  
OS9 app rather than an OS X app.  I'll have to give Open Office  
another try.  Also, FWIW, MS Office is only $100 (well, $149-$50 MIR)  
if you're a student and it comes with three licenses so at $35 a  
machine I can live with that.
