It is definitely not an "office suite", but Lyx is a GUI front end to
LaTEX that is supposed to work nicely for word processing.  

I have  the StarOffice CD, but have  not installed it.  My PC is just
too old and too slow.  I was going to put it on the next machine I get,
but this thread scares me......if it StarOffice is really as bloated as
I'm hearing, I may try the LyX option instead.
