My only problem with Pages is that I can’t figure out how to replace the text in templates without obliterating it completely. Otherwise it’s a good Word replacement.

If they hate themselves. Because no other app renders Word documents quite correctly, you end up with pagination problems, missing fonts, etc. PDF would be a better choice, or Rich Text if they have to edit it. I pretty much refuse Word documents because of how awful they are to work with if you're not running Word on Windows.
