There are several alternatives to MS Orifice such as NeoOffice and FreeOffice.

Pages, Numbers and Keynote are OK too and as nospam commented TextEdit can often cope with Word documents.

Pages is excellent, and handles most word processing tasks as well or better than Word. It’s not 100% compatible, of course; Word for Mac isn’t 100% compatible with Word for Windows. It’s pretty good, though. Keynote is magnificent, better than PowerPoint for most purposes.

OpenOffice, LibreOffice, NeoOffice, and so on suffer from the GIMP Problem: they are clunky, annoying, and poorly designed. MS Office is no prize, but OO/LO/NO are worse. Pages and Keynote are well-designed. I decline to use poorly-designed stuff just because it’s open-source.
Every ever so often I install the latest version of LO and try it out. I usually delete it in short order and go back to MS Office and Pages/Keynote.

Now if Word and Excel were …. but then there’s always LibreOffice.
Ugh from MS in the comments: "The new Outlook for Mac is free to use, and

I wonder why MS even call their Mac app Outlook as it has major differences from the Windows version.
