I will need to open documents by others (at times), create quizzes, exams, etc. The academic writing will typically be taken care of using LaTeX or LyX, so that is not a problem. Here are the main contenders it seems:

1. Microsoft Office
2. Apple iWorks
3. OpenOffice
4. NeoOffice (a Mac version of Open Office)

I know there are a few others such as Nisus, Mellell, etc.

What are your thoughts?


I've gone through all four of the those. The newest one I just acquired is the iWorks (Pages). I would recommend Microsoft Office or iWorks. I'm really starting to like Pages though.
