StarOffice seems to be a pretty good package, but you have to be running
Linux/Unix to use it Emacs and vi are also extremely solid, stable text
editors.

Win95 word processors are so sucky. WordPerfect's no better--try
total system
crashes requiring a cold boot.
My solution: do all text editing in WordPerfect 6.1c for DOS,
which is very,
very stable. And it has a configurable keyboard, so if you've
been around since
WordStar you can create an elaborated Control-key "cursor
diamond" scheme.
