Hi Judy.  Working with poor schools, I switched to it a couple of years
ago for proof of concept and have not really gone back.  Apart from a
few interface differences it does everything that 99% of people do with
word/excel/powerpoint.  Once you get  over those few differences you
will probably love it.  The new version also has built in PDF creation,
added bouns for a Free (open source) package.

Enjoy,
