New to imac. How to open Word Documents

How do you open word documents on your imac? I had a PC and have many word documents as a photographer that I use on a weekly/daily basis, and I also do a lot of word downloads online, how do I make it work on the mac? what sort of programs do you use on your imac that resembles the word?

Thanks so much!

You need an application that reads MS Word documents the good news is there are many options to choose from. First is you can purchase MS Office for Mac 2011 which is MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Professional includes Outlook. Another option is Pages, this is an Apple App which can read and write to MS Word format. This is available from the App Store for $19.99. Next is you can find free alternatives that are web based such as NeoOffice. If you need to trade documents back and forth with PC users that use MS Office I would suggest investing in MS Office for Mac, you can find it at Amazon for about $100.
