I echo the recommendation for OpenOffice. I also own MS Office 2010 but
OpenOffice is actually more up to date, and as you say, it's free. As
an example, I recently had a need to be able to use hyperbolic sine
functions on complex numbers for some transmission line calculations.
Excel didn't add that capability until after 2010, while Open Office
Calc has them. MS Office 2010 will be the last version I ever buy, or
"lease" now that it is cloud based.

a new file in Word (or other MS App) format. Open Office is free to download
and use.
The latest version rescued me when I had to update my Mac's OS and I wanted to be able to
open older files. The bane of updating an OS is the risk that some older app that you
still need or use will "break" under the new OS. At that point, you have to
hope that the original developer of that now broker app will have updated it to run on
the new OS.
I had that situation with EchoMac... a compatible version of EchoLink.

If you do not have Microsoft Word, then you should download and install
LibreOffice. It is a full Office suite that is quite similar to
Microsoft Office. And it is free to use. It will read any file
produced by MS Office, and it also exports to .pdf format.
