OK, you REALLY need to give Open Office a try. It has all the things MSoft's Orifice has, and even reads/imports their files. But it is open source, free, and totally without all that intrusive BS. Download it, give it a whirl for a decent time and then - if you are convinced, just dump Office. Or dump Open Office and go back to frustration. Your choice.
