    Seconded, it's a full free office suite with the ability to save in Microsoft file types.

    Also WPS Office has a really good alternative to Excel and Word (they have the other tools too but theyre the 2 I've used)

    I'd use Google Docs. I'm using it over Word at this stage for.convenience.

    It works more seamlessly across mobile and desktop for me than using Word. Editing and saving files in Word on a mobile always leaves me losing loads of work but it's absolutely flawless in Docs. Even as a standalone, it's very capable these days anyway.
