My favorite program these days is TeXshop. It allows you to use the best parts of TeX/LaTeX on the Mac without learning or knowing how to compile/run it on Unix/Linux.
TeX is a great way to write a document because you can write all the content without worrying about formatting and typesetting until you've gotten the structure and content clearly defined. Its basically a markup language. Try it out. You'll actually enjoy writing reports. See also this great pair of articles by Kevin O'Mally at O'reilly's website.

TeXshop also supports MetaPost and other more advanced stuff for drawing diagrams, etc. The fanciest I have gotton with Texshop is to make a PDF slide show with tables and jpegs side by side.
