I initially tried NeoOffice (OpenOffice implementation for Macs) after
defecting from MSWord, but had to gave up after struggling with it for
a couple of weeks. Even Word has a better implementation of styles
than OO. I had some other problems with it--for example, it either
hides or doesn't provide formatting features  that I use on a daily
basis. The inability to work with styles and the mystery behind
bibliography support were total deal busters for me.

I still keep it on my computer to open old WordPerfect files.
