I hear that educators and students are supposed to be able to download a 
non-trial version of star office for academic use (free). Star office 7 had 
a great interface for serving documents. However I couldn't find the 
educational version (not trialware) or the unlock code depsite "registering" 
several times to download it. 

Don't like spam? Next time you register your "email address" to get another 
lame piece of trialware, check out www.dodgeit.com  ---great for dodging 
spam while getting your authorization codes and/or confirmation hyperlinks.
