    Open office is good

    Abiword is another word type program I like, not too big a download

    I second OpenOffice. It also has a handy feature of saving docs to PDF, handy for emailing.

    OpenOffice is amazing! The spreadsheet and WordProcessor are as good if not better than Microsofts.

    Google have their own free wordprocessor and spreadsheet which are really good. You can access them from your personalised home page.

    you will probably need to save the 2007 documents in an earlier format
