Hi,

For a beginner i'd say look at one of the 'easy' distro's such as 
Mandrake/Fedora etc.. - these will come with everything you need to get 
started.

For the office suite have a look at www.openoffice.org and see how you 
get on with that (you can run it on windows too so you could get used to 
it before trying linux out).
