It will comes with everything you need to get started, and is extremely easy to install. Regarding Microsoft Word, Excell, PDF documents and the rest - Just get open office.
You can obtain Open Office here - http://download.openoffice.org/other.html Download the English .deb For a simple .pdf viewer I'd go KPDF but it's a matter of preference really. I used to use http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/overview.html to get myself up and running but there is a more up to date alternative called Ultimatix (which I won't link) but a lot of elitists do not like as as it does thing's in a way contrary to how they think things should be done. Even if it does not really, except for vastly insignificant minority - do anything but save you time and ease the transition process. your call. Have fun.
