Can I suggest OpenOffice?

I haven't used Word for 3 years now. It was tough the first couple years, and yes, you do have issues if you need to share heavily formatted files with others using Word... But if you convert all your OS X fonts for X11 and really make the effort to use OpenOffice, esp. if you can take advantage of the ready PDF generation to share just PDF versions of the documents, then you'll be happier for it in the long run.
