@kdfrawg I acquired NisusWriter Pro a couple of years ago as part of a software bundle. It incorporates enough parts of LibreOffice 5 to work with Word documents. I have Office for Mac 2008 on my 2011 MBP but no version on the MBA. I also have LibreOffice Vanilla from the Mac App Store.
When I started using the Lumia 1020 instead of the iPhone 4S, I opened a Microsoft Live account, which includes access to online versions of Word, Excel & PowerPoint. At the very worst, if I receive an Office document that nothing on my Mac can display properly, I can upload it to OneDrive and access it with Office Online.
