I like AppleWorks.
AppleWorks imports and exports RTF. Generally you use RTF as a
lingua-franca: use one WP package to export the file as an RTF file,
then read this file into the other WP package. That way, everyone
only needs to write one import/export filter.
Importing and exporting Word files is almost impossible: Microsoft
keep changing the format and don't document it.
