There is a Microsoft Word for Mac (see link below). TextEdit (in the Applications folder) will open most Word documents. There are free alternatives to work with Word docs such as NeoOffice. The selection of typefaces you see when using Microsoft Word exist as part of your computers operating system. That is to say these are typefaces that have been loaded or installed onto your computer.

I use Pages for most stuff, but my son needed to format in columns, which is a feature that the current version of Pages does not support very well (though earlier versions did, and future versions probably will). Until Pages does this sort of thing better, I use NeoOffice. It is inexpensive and has the most important features historically in MS Office without the really weird interface that MS Office has evolved toward. Word has too many features. One cannot find a feature in any product burdened by this many features. So, mostly, I use Pages, and whenever it doesn't do the trick, I use NeoOffice, available in the App Store.

Apple does not provide any APIs to check for existence of the Mac App Store license from an external app; they only store the license file inside the apps downloaded from the Mac App Store. There’s a catch, however: you must have installed and launched LiveReload 2.2+ from the Mac App Store on that computer at least once. The latest app store version for mac.
