There's a nice post at Web Worker Daily listing ten free alternatives to Microsoft Word. The comments point to a few more.
Having switched over to Macintosh and OS X, I've been delighted by TextEdit (which comes with a Mac), Bean (a free download), and Pages (part of iWork, not free). I've listed these applications in order of increasingly complexity: Pages is the choice if, for instance, you need to create columns. I'm also very happy with Smultron, a free text-editor with tabs. And I'm even happier to be working on a computer without Microsoft Word.

There's also the Neo by AlphaSmart:

It's robust and it only does word processing so you can take it with you and not be distracted by email and the internet. If all you are doing is just putting out words.
