Why not use Apache OpenOffice? I think they've got a build for Mac if I'm not mistaken.

Free alternatives word processors, there is LibreOffice http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/mac/ and Apache OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/porting/mac/

And of course, there is always Google http://docs.google.com

There are old versions floating around, but LibreOffice mostly has replaced OpenOffice IIRC. Just a rename.

If formatting (pictures/fancy type) is important, Google docs will work better BUT you need internet connection to edit. LibreOffice/OpenOffice is fine for basic formatting and is a desktop program.

LibreOffice and OpenOffice are two different office suites. Both are descendants of OpenOffice.org Libre has since become the default office package in most Linux distros, but Apache is making a comeback with OpenOffice.

Libre can save in docx format, so this may be your best choice for a legit free program.

Oooh...that's what it is. I hadn't run into Apache OpenOffice so my info was out of date.

I have used Libre and it works very well, I would recommend it.

I'm using Libre as well, went to that when the Win7->8 upgrade failed in the middle and forced a clean install. I didn't have the key stored anywhere else and M$ refused to help, even though the botched upgrade of their own software is what caused the problem.... Anyway, Libre has been able to do everything I've needed to and, like mentioned above, is compatible with the Microsoft file formats.

In the future, use a License Key grabber to save the keys. If you had the old image by some chance, you might be able to still do it, but I wouldn't know how. I used a key grabber because I lost the keys as well for MSO2007

If the company that you work for, has your email hosted on office 365. Most user licenses come with a desktop install of the office suite, both 2010 and 2013. But if not, go with a combonation of Google Docs and LibreOffice.
