Does anyone know of a good downloadable word processor that will run on a Mac (OSX) and get on well with Word files? Or is that a tall order?

Edit: I've downloaded OpenOffice and will be upgrading to Panther as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone for your help!

I went to Panther from Jaguar (10.2), and had no problem at all. Which was a good job, because it only occurred to me halfway through that I should've backed my stuff up first ;-)

Good stuff. And I've found that all the other bits I need are part of the OO download, so it's not so bad.

But aren't we on Tiger now?

I know little of these things, not having had the ability to download anything bigger than a small text file for many years :)

Panther will be a good step up compared to what I've got, anyway.
