Not a much of a writer myself, but I've read accounts of writers that find BBedit and text editors to be a plus for them. Reasoning behind this was the ability to focus on your copy rather then format. Separating the 2 jobs was considered good for keeping the mind focused.
Pages will usually do a sufficient job of exporting a word doc as one option and has the ability to be a layout tool...sort of a mini indesign if you will. This word cannot do to the best of my knowledge. Question buzzes about on how the layout version of pages actually works out in word though...hmmmm. Heres a crazy thought....just take the text from bbedit directly into indesign or the professional layout tool of choice and be done with the tweener MS word. No MS on your mac...good on ya..this way you don't need a priest for an exorcism!
