If you are used to the MS Office suite, you may consider moving to OpenOffice 
under Linux (and there's even some sort of 'compatibility' regarding MS 
Office files).

I however think that LaTeX (and thus ArabTex) is the best choice too. If 
you're too GUI dependent, you can use a 'front-end' to LaTeX, such as Lyx.
