My condolences.  With a few brief exceptions, I've never worked anywhere 
where I had to use MS Office.  This is going back to the late '80s, when 
I used Wordstar 2000.  When I was at IBM, we used Lotus Smart Suite and 
at another employer, we used OpenOffice (I suspect this one was because 
that employer was so cheap <g>).  In others, while MS Office was on the 
computer, I had no problems with installing and using OOo.  In those 
locations, I'd also install Thunderbird and Firefox, to use instead of 
Outlook and IE.  The places where I had to use MS Office were all short 
term contract jobs.  At home, I've used PC-Write, Describe (on OS/2) and 
OOo.
