Micro***t Word on Linux and alternatives
(lemm.ee)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Softmaker Office uses .docx natively, so you don't have compatibility issues with Word at all.
Its UI is also very close to MS Office. It's a drop-in replacement for current MS Office.
Softmaker does also offer a free of charge light version FreeOffice you could try out before committing to pay for their full version.
