Alternative a Word for free
If you are looking for a free Word alternative that can read and create documents in DOC / DOCX format, I can only advise you. LibreOffice. It is the best free and open source productivity suite available for Windows, MacOS e Linux (on which it is usually pre-installed). Inside it includes various applications: one for spreadsheets, one for presentations, another for creating printable content, one for databases and of course a word processing program that rarely lets you regret the Microsoft one.
To download LibreOffice on your computer, connect to the program's website using the link I gave you a moment ago and click on the button Download version xx. Then start the file LibreOffice_xx_Win_x86.msi and click in sequence on NEXT, Install, Yes e end to conclude the setup.
If you use a Mac, you can install LibreOffice by connecting to the suite's website by clicking on the button Download version xx and opening the package in .dmg format that has just been obtained and which contains the program. Then move the LibreOffice icon attached to the window that opened on the folder desktop Applications of macOS. Then, download the cittàn language pack (by pressing the button Translated user interface present on the suite website) and install it by right clicking on the icon present in the package in .dmg format of the translation, selecting the item apritwice consecutively and then following the instructions on the screen.
When installation is complete, start LibreOffice and click on the icon Writer, the word processing application included in LibreOffice, attached to the window that is shown to you. The functioning of Writer is very similar to that of the old versions of Word: at the top there is the classic toolbar with all the options to format the text (only icons and menus, without dividing them into tabs) while at the bottom there is the counter of words and characters typed.
To save a document in DOC or DOCX format, select the item Save with name from the menu Fillet and, in the window that opens, select the option Microsoft Word 2007/2010/2013 XML (.docx) give menu to tendin Save eat. When prompted for confirmation to complete the save, select the Microsoft Word format again and not the ODF format (which is the second available option).
A simple double click on their icons should be enough to open Word documents with Writer. If not, to associate DOCX / DOC files with LibreOffice on Windows, right-click on any document in these formats and select the item Property from the menu that appears. In the window that opens, click on the button Change and select LibreOffice Writer from the list of available applications.
On Mac, instead, right-click on the document of your interest, select the item Get information from the menu that is shown to you, expand the menu Open with attached to the window that opened on the desk, select LibreOffice host from the displayed list and press the button Edit all.
Keep in mind that in most cases, Word documents are opened smoothly by LibreOffice but files with more advanced content may be rendered 100% inaccurate. For more information on how LibreOffice works, please also consult the guide I dedicated to the program.
