MS Office for MacBook Air(M1, 2020)

I have recently bought a MacBook Air with M1 Chip on 31-Dec-2020. I am a first time user of Mac. Whole my life I have used Windows. The reason I bought this laptop to apply for jobs in various job portal sites. They are asking to upload resume in Microsoft Word document. My MAC laptop don't have MS Word. When I rang apple support the guy said you cannot install any Microsoft products in NEW MacBook Air with new M1 chip. Should I do now? I have recorded the case number on the conversation with apple support guy. Any advise would be highly appreciated. Many thanks.

As neuroanatomist said in the liked thread, Office 2019 and Microsoft 365 will run on the M1 Macs with Rosetta 2 emulation. A few days after this post a comment was added that a version of Office for M1 Macs was also released.
