In my honest opinion, I would think twice about changing unless you have a very very good reason. I am a qualified tutor in Adult Education and have been teaching for many years, although I am in a semi retirement situation now.
The standard is Microsoft Word and most companies use that.
It is possible that one day, just like Lotus, Microsoft may head for a fall. At this moment in time that is not the case.
Please explain why you would want to use anything different and I will try to help you.
You can PM me if you prefer.
Cheers
