Word Sucks.
And is WAY too expensive, and you are forced to pay for a lot of other software you don't want.

Use OpenOffice.Org: http://download.openoffice.org/index.html

3. Yes. For my (very light) uses, it's no better and no worse than OOo.
So it comes down to price, peace of mind, and freedom.

Oh, and OOo exports directly to PDF. Ssssschweeeeet!

5. Word.
I can't believe that such a shoddy program is the industry standard.
