Web sites that have a focus on the use of technology in Legal Practice:
Open Office is the free alternative to Microsoft's software for use in the office.
Open Office can open Word documents and save its own documents in Word format.
Open Office has a toolbar like the older versions of Word, rather than the ribbon used in Word 2007. It has a more user friendly method of automatic numbering of paragraphs. If you have a document with complex numbering and Word is the standard software in your office, then consider preparing the document in Open Office then saving it as a Word document.
There is also a lot of other free open source software available. See the Open Source Software Primer for the Solo and Small Firm Lawyer.
