Pages, the word processing program that comes resident on your Macbook Air, allows you to save documents in Pages format, Word format, or PDF format (among perhaps others, but I only use these 3). So for those who need to turn in an assignment at work or university in Word format, they can, without buying Word as an app.
Many Windows-based computers come with a version of Microsoft Word, the widely used word processing software. More often then not, however, Apple computer's do not come with any version of Word. Instead, you must buy the program, which can be expensive for any business especially if you want to install the program on multiple computers. You can, however, open Word documents pn a Mac laptop or desktop computer without having to download any special program.
Apple includes a free, basic word processing program called TextEdit on all machines running OS X, its computer operating system. Use TextEdit to open Word documents on your Apple computer.
