Recommendation for a simple (Japanese) word processor [closed]

I think most of you know this problem: relatives that call you at the weirdest of times with a computer problem (oh, noes). Recently my aunt-in-law has started to seriously use her computer to write long essays and articles, but she's continually stumped by Word 2003. There's just so much cr*p in there that she never ever uses, but continues to accidentally invoke or run up against. I always thought Word was a half-way decent application (because I rarely ever use it), but getting to see the kinds of problems she has I'm starting to think that it's possibly one of the worst word processors out there.

"The best option that you have in your situation, by far, is to use Google Documents. It has a simple interface, it can be configured to use Japanese menus, will accept Japanese text, and it is not OS dependent. The extra perk is that it will allow you to login, given your obasan's permission, to inspect her settings as she sees them when something goes wrong (and no matter what you do, something will go wrong). You will even have the ability to switch the interface to English, if you prefer, to 'clarify' any misunderstandings.
