If you have an early version of Office for Mac 2016, you can update it at no charge. However note that connecting to Microsoft 365 services using Office 2016 for Mac is not supported by Microsoft after October 13, 2020. See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/troubleshoot/administration/office-2016-for-mac-64-bit-upgrade
If you have Office for Mac 2011 or earlier, you can either subscribe to Microsoft 365 or you can make a one-time purchase. See: https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products-for-mac?ms.officeurl=mac-compare-redir
Or use the free Microsoft Office on the web: https://products.office.com/en-us/free-office-online-for-the-web
Or Google Docs: https://www.google.com/docs/about/
Other options include using the free and very good Libre Office https://www.libreoffice.org/
or Apple's Pages and Numbers
