well the problem is that this platform is pretty new, barely 6 months since n900 was released, android has been released for over a year and iphone for a few years. Native Office editing app will come dont worry, and when it does it'll be better than both android and iphone. in the meantime open office is perfect can handle documents fine.
also dont forget .doc is microsofts own format, they dont hand out the specifications to their formats to anyone, thus its even more difficult to create a .doc editor!

http://wiki.maemo.org/Easy_Debian#Install_instructions:
Basically you need to install that application (for which you need to add the extra-testing repository), and then run that application which will download and install openoffice (i.e. easy debian).
Probably a good idea to plug n900 into the wall socket while you are doing this as it's going to be downloading alot and working alot - in total about an hour so you won't be able to do anything else with your phone during this time.
Once done and openoffice icon will appear - run it and wait for a little while (it takes time as it's a full blown Microsoft Word app like on your dekstop PC)
