Hmmm. Seems there were a few complications, but I had StarOffice up and
running maybe a couple years ago--and I found it a bloated and clunky
version of $msword with help files in German.

I personally recommend Corel WP which you can get for free as well.
It runs in X (of course) and requires the Linux libraries. With this,
I've been creating and exchanging compatible documents with clients
all over as it converts to word 6.0/7.0 (among a slug of other
formats) quite easily. I bought the
registered version ($50) for the extra features and manual (which
turned out to stink).
