[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1672058"] No, there isn't. You have several good options, though: 1. You can subscribe to Office 365, which appears to cost $7 a month (though there are some deals available if you buy other stuff, check your favourite deals site for possibilities) 2. This fall, you can buy the standalone copy of Office 2016 for a flat rate, though after the first year I'm not sure if you have to then sign up with Office 365 or not. 3. Office 2011 still works for now on Macs, so you could buy a used copy of that cheap from someone who's upgrading. 4. If you are a student, your school might be able to supply you with a free or cheap copy of Office. Check with them. 5. My understanding is that Word for iPad is free to use, though an account signup may be required. That's all the legal methods I know of. If money is an issue, I'd suggest looking at LibreOffice or OpenOffice (both free) or Apple's Pages (comes free with new iOS devices or Macs, available for free through a browser if you have an Apple ID). The Mac version is $20 IIRC, the iOS version is $10 or $15, can't remember. [/QUOTE]
