Another choice is the office suite from Openoffice. It is open source and free just like the Firefox browser. Version 2.0 has just come out. The menus and commands are similar to Word. It is metric by default. For example the default margins are 20 mm rather than 25.4 mm. I have been using it for a few days now and am very pleased with it. http://www.openoffice.org Terry
