My free years subscription to Microsoft Office 365 is about to run out. I was happily set to take the laptop to the coffee shop this weekend to get some paperwork done and now I may not be able to do it! 
I only use Word, nothing else. It runs out on the 8th and says 'Most features of word will be disabled'.
Is there a way of using MS word for free if you are not using any of the other stuff?
It says 'most features', will I still be able to write word documents and save them?
I know open office is a possibility, but I tried that before and it didn't seem to be compatible with Word.
Lastly, when browsing the web it says something about being able to use Word for free but calls it 'online word', does this mean I have to be online to use word? That would be a pain.
Cheers all.
