Definately Open Office.  KOffice is good to, but it can only import from MS,
not export (At least the versions I've used)

Open Office is very similar to MS Office. It has 90% of the same functinality, 
it can read and write MS Office format files, and can write to pdf files too.
Unless you are a power MS Word user, you will find Open Office is a complete 
replacement for MSWord.

Abiword is much faster and lighter than Open Office. It can read most MS Word 
documents, but cannot write them.

Kword is similar to Abiword. It is a little slower, but is integrated into the 
KDE environment. Like Abiword it can read MS format, but cannot write it

OpenOffice, AbiWord, KWord, Kwrite. If you've installed MDK, you've got
everything except for AbiWord and that's easily installed.
