Just FYI, I'm using Word v.X on my new Intel-based 24-inch iMac and it 
has run flawlessly and seamlessly in Rosetta.  It is also running faster 
than I've ever had it run on a previous Mac of mine, even my G4 Powerbook.

Yes to both of these.  However if a document or presentation uses 
features that aren't present in the original Office application, there 
will be problems.

The latest version of iWorks is very impressive.  Though some training 
would be a good idea if you switch.  Check out:

VTC online training
For instance, here is the link to their training for Microsoft Word 2004:

Some of their training modules are free.  You can get online training, 
with access to their *entire library* 24/7, for only $30/month.
