In the "contrib" section of Debian, there is a good word processor
for X Windows, called "LyX". It's not a real word processor, but
a graphic front-end to the text processor "Tex". It's very good,
and I think that it has all the functionallity that normal users
need from a word processor.

Try it and see.
