I installed Abiword yesterday, and it works quite nicely, and formats saved files much more prettily than Word. I'm not sure if you can save files in .doc form, though. I haven't checked in particularly ludicrous Word creations yet, but it opens simple .doc files well enough, and can supposedly display .rtf, as well. I believe you can use vi key-bindings in Abiword, as well, but I haven't played with it enough yet to know how well that works.
