Ready to upgrade a few programs and have a question:
What should I use for Word Processing, etc. In the past I have relied
on AppleWorks. However, this is no longer supported. Additionally,
my wife (this is her iMac) would like to open word (.doc) files that
friends send her in email. This is a purely recreational iMac (not
for business use) and I can't affort or justify spending $500 on
Microsoft Office v.X for it (that is nearly 3X what we have invested
in the computer).
What about iWork or NeoOffice? iWork doesn't have any form of
spreadsheet, but appears to be more stable than NeoOffice...Will both
(or either) of them open Word Documents (.doc) or Power Point
Presentations?

You might try AbiWord. It is a free download so if you decide not to
use it after testing it only costs the time that it takes to download.
