Ita, I use NeoOffice, and it's been fine. I will say, my use of OFFICE is limited and pretty basic. Not sure if it will be fully compatible with advanced features. YRMV. Worth a look. It does *not* require installing X-11. So typical keyboard shortcuts still use the command key, not the option key.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not going to be free, is it? Well, it will be much more affordable.

I'm pretty sure it will be free. I have OpenOffice 3 installed and it works pretty well for the light duty stuff I do.

Right--Star Office isn't free.

Sophia,
mail merge was the bane of my existence. the only suggestion I can offer is try thunderbird. they have a mail merge add-on that worked really well for me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
anybody signed up for AT&T uverse? I seem to have done it. It looks like it will save me money -- and it solves my non-HD dvr problem .
and any one use VOIP as there main phone? I didn't do that ( but I did change my phone plan) - just curious if it works for anyone

bethB, I'm curious how the AT&T verse thing goes. I'm debating it here, but it wasn't a huge savings. It was partially to thumb my nose at Time Warner
