How to Get Word for Free
Did you just download or receive a Microsoft Word document on your desktop or mobile device, but don’t have Word installed? Don’t let that DOC or DOCX extension scare you off. You have plenty of ways to open and edit the file without having to sign up for an Office 365 subscription.
For example, did you know that you can work with any Word document for free with Office Online? Or that you can use open-source software like OpenOffice and LibreOffice for a Word-like experience offline? Probably not.
Below you'll find an overview of the best methods to open and edit Word documents on any device, without having to install Microsoft Word.
