Google adds StarOffice to its pack, its collection of free software. Though Star office costs quite a bit ($69.95), its free with the Google Pack.

Just beware while downloading as it has a huge installer (~140 MB), and it can be a bit slow during use. Comparison of features between various office apps here.

Note (17th Aug): The comparison page link given above compares various office productivity apps. Its pretty old ( and the versions reviewed in there are as of that date. Thanks to the reader for pointing it out.
