    Microsoft Word is available for Mac most definitely (much better than iPages IMO). Do you have a CD? It won't work with a Mac. There is a separate edition solely for Macs that you will have to buy.

    You can find what you need here: http://www.microsoft.com/ireland/mac

    Nope, pretty simple. The disc will show up in your finder, just click on it and go through the install process (mostly just clicking next and agreeing to T&Cs) and all is done.

    Yeah, I'm sure there are torrents out there, I'm not sure what is required (cracks etc.) to install those, though. Just Google around.
