Microsoft Office 2021 – free download for macOS

Tools included in the Office 2021 suite:

  • Word: Create and share professional-looking documents with state-of-the-art editing, reviewing, and sharing tools. The new Design tab provides quick access to features, and Smart Lookup shows relevant contextual information from the web directly inside Word.
