Best Mac Word Processor Free

MS word was the number 1 word processor on the block, mainly due to its spell checker/grammar checker. I use Pages at home and Word (2003 on a PC) at work. I'd agree about the spell checker etc. There a few free alternatives to Word on Mac but of course, none of them have the same features or power as Word. However, for basic word processing, they’re absolutely fine. OpenOffice, NeoOffice and LibreOffice in particular offer a surprising amount of features and an entire replacement for the Microsoft Office for Mac suite.
