As others have said, download (free) LibreOffice. Yes, it's free!
No payments and the MS Word equivalent is very easy to use. It also has the distinct advantage of allowing you to save files as Word documents (if sending to other people, for example) and, as I have mentioned before, will open documents that MS Word cannot handle like, for example, some old Lotus documents (now discontinued) which I have had for many years. These also can be saved as MS Word documents!
My MS Office installation is the 2007 version, and still works perfectly! Like many other companies, Microsoft is in the business primarily of making money and I am not surprised in the least that they now demand regular payments for their software.
I paid for my Office 2007 and there is no way I'm going to pay again by compulsory regular charges. They have yet to demand any from me, of course, probably because they've forgotten about Office 2007 now being 13 years old!
Yes, Muddy, download LibreOffice. You'll find it perfectly intuitive to use.
