Open Office looks very very promising - may be just what the Doctor ordered! I got x11 installed yesterday from my Tiger disk and then got OO to open ok - interface seems very similar to Word...most importantly, the save options seem very robust.
I was bidding on a Office 2001 disk on eBay, but let a higher bid take it for the time being. The OO looked that good.
Thanks for all of the advice and the clarifications re versions. As I hadn't purchased Office in some time, my confusion between Mac updated versions and Windows versions was profound. I'm still using my Office 2000 disk at home for my PCs - it installed in Win 7 with no muss, no fuss, interestingly enough.
(If it wasn't for the key delay/repeat problem running in Classic on the Pismo, I'd be fine with Word 98 functionality. Except I hate the little help guy with a passion, and that hurts, because it's a little Classic with legs and all.)
