AbiWord is a good word processor, it will be a great word processor.  It
is not finished yet.  Currently, among other things:

It can:
-Open many Word files
-Save files as .rtf which Word can read
-Most "standard" word processing functions
-Use styles
-Do numbered and bulleted lists (with some bugs or enhancements
required, last time I looked)

It cannot (yet):
-Do tables
-Do footnotes
-Do outlining

I've tried StarOffice but haven't really used it.  It seems to include
more features than AbiWord at this time.  I think it can do tables, I
know it can do outlining (with a different UI than Word).

Hope this helps,
