This COMPLETELY depends on what you want to use it for....You can utilize Microsoft Word ONLINE now through their website. It is free and the documents are stored in the cloud so you don't have access to the license but you have access to everything that you create, edit, share, save, etc.
All you need to do sign up username and password with your cell phone here and you have access to all of microsoft.

Hey snuffles, it's for my television and film scriptwriting. I am not a fan of storing my work online and always avoid it. Any other ideas to obtain a copy of Word?
do you have a ".edu" email address....if you still have access it is possible to get a 100% free license if you school or university has a partnership
