www.openoffice.org
its similar to word and office. you have to buy any microsoft word, excel, or office suite, the best you can do is get a trial version of office.

OpenOffice is very good; just make sure if you're going to share your documents with others that you set it to save in Office 2003 format instead of OpenDocument format.

Open Office is free. $70 will get you Works Suite from Newegg, this includes Word. Word by itself is $100. Office Standard Student and Teacher is $125, this is the best deal, you can legally install it on 3 computers and it includes Word, Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint. Maybe your parents would help you with that - they can install it on their computer too.

If you just need a word processor, not a full office suite, then get AbiWord : http://www.abisource.com/download/
It will save files in RTF so you won't have any problem sharing them with Microsoft Office using friends and teachers.

Pam -- OpenOffice saves in DOC; it just has to be set to do it by default if you want it to do that.
