Great free alternative
I've been using OpenOffice for a long time already. I think that it's a good alternative. I've had litle or no formatting trouble ferrying the files to school. Some features in MS Office aren't there, of course, but OpenOffice has all the equivalents of the features that I use. The features that are specific to MS Office, I don't use or use very little. Most people will find that it has all they need, if they need a specific feature there's usually a workaround.
Also, the menus take some time to learn, but if I couldn't find something, the help function tells me where it is. And you really can't beat the price.
