How do I get Microsoft word on my macbook air

I downloaded an app for it but now it wants me to pay to be able to save documents. Is there a free one?

Microsoft Word is not and has never been free.

You can try LibreOffice which is free.

Can't use Microsoft Word on my macbook Hi! Now that I have bought a new MacBook Air, my Microsoft products are no longer accessible. I know I can buy a Microsoft 365 subscription to access all of my Word documents that are stored on my computer. Aside from that, what options are there? Are there free options that are Word similar/compatible that I can download without a fee? What does everyone else use? Thanks!

You could also use Pages which Apple provides.
