Consider the open-source productivity suite LibreOffice:

You will need to update your OS to at least 10.10 Yosemite, but it will work and reads/writes MS Office files. You might as well update to your maximum:10.13 High Sierra. We have a 2011 iMac running 10.13 that shipped with 10.8. Ours runs as well or better than when shipped on OS10.13.

Use Safari for downloads. Firefox is note working properly for mac system downloads at the moment.
