I use Bean (for Mac, no longer supported) for reading documents. Open Office and Libre Office also work.

Honestly, I use Word for writing formal documents on the rare occasion when it happens, such as letters to the government. But not for resumes. The formatting is just too frustrating. I've been using HTML and markdown for that. www.rocketships.ca, for example. I never send .docs to anyone - .pdfs or raw text only.
