OpenOffice is functionally equivalent to MSOffice and some of the functions are superior. If you have not yet bought into MSOffice or are faced with an expensive upgrade, you owe it to yourself to try OpenOffice before you do - for a practice, you could save £2000-3000, for a hospital, who knows?. There is a Macintosh version, too.
All OpenOffice software generates and reads MSOffice files. The user interface is similar to MSOffice and shouldn't take more than a day to become fluent. The only component missing is MS Access, which IMHO really shouldn't be used by people who aren't IT professionals anyway. Main problem is the 60mbyte download but, once downloaded, you can distribute it as much as you want.
Not a lot of documentation is available but here is a guide to using OpenOffice word processing here. You need QuickTime to view the guide.
