open office runs under x11!!
neooffice is a port for tiger & has very good capabilities in import/
export word docs
i have both installed but using mainly neooffice
http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
both are 100% free & supported, well you may donate something
there is now aan early access fee payable programm, but if you can
wait you still get the updates free
bear in mind you still have to make sure you got all fonts used in a
word doc, also it may not be the fastest program

I seem to be receiving more Word documents from PC users than in
the past. AppleWorks seems to lose the format of the document when
used to translate. Office 98 copes quite well but I'm trying to
wean myself from using Classic.
A look at the comments from iWorks users does not give iWorks a
clean bill of health either in this area.
If any members are using Open Office, how do you find the quality
of translation from a Word document?
Comments about any of these applications appreciated.
