Alternative to Microsoft Word?

I just went to check out OpenOffice and it seems great and all, but it's 93 megs. Any smaller programs out there that can draw tables and such for documents? That's really the only good thing about MS WOrd that I know of and the entire reason I want it.

The problem isn't Unix itself, but all the shit that comes with it. To name a few:
- FHS
- Bunch of core utilities with non-uniform parameters used to write hacks that /should/ work, for most cases, I think, I suppose
- sh/bash/zsh/pretty much all shells
- Hippies stole my . in PATH
- Lol freedom: the second you want to run three applications in X you realize you require libraries for two desktop environments (which go as fat as virutal file systems), three toolkits, several internationalization suites, and a million random libraries (which you usually need to provide yourself), including the ever popular librandomshithahaiwrotealibraryiamgod-2.65.1.3-beta-Distro-6.0.33 .
