Re: Any suggestions for replacing Word

[Janani Gopalakrishnan <jananigopalakrishnan -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

OpenOffice.org Writer really is very good. I use it
for almost all my 
writing work, and I find it very stable. To point out
the shortcomings: It 
does not have a grammar check (not that Word's grammar
check is very good) 
and the Track Changes functionality is not too well
developed (so you might 
find reviewing a little cumbersome).

BTW, have you tried DocBook... I have not tried it
personally but some of my 
friends who've used it are all praise for it.
Extremely portable and stable, 
irrespective of the size of your document. Of course
you could use a high 
level authoring tool, but at the most basic level all
you'd need is a simple 
text editor!

Smiles,
Janani
