Hello and welcome!

There are different versions of Microsoft's Office 365 for Mac.

Most require subscriptions; other is a one-time purchase,

and all of these require download (code) from MS Servers.


• Compare Microsoft 365 Plans for Mac (formerly Office 365) - Microsoft Store

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/buy/compare-microsoft-365-products-for-mac


And there also is the Student version, for verified students;

depending on location & status, this 'online version' is free.


• Student discount for Microsoft Office (Office in Education)

"Student discount for Microsoft Office (Office in Education) If you're a student or teacher you

Another option would be download free-ware office suite "LibreOffice", it has good reputation.

Slightly older & newer download versions available from Download LibreOffice, download menu.
