Well, yes, sort of. You can get a "trial" version from the Microsoft Office web site. You can use if for 90 days, but then you have to buy it. You can get a Student and Teacher's Edition for about $150 with Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook.

No.
Most Windows computers come with a program called "WordPad", which is a limited-feature word processor. It saves files in the same .doc file format that Word does. But it is not a very useful tool for more than the most basic word processing tasks.
There is a free program called OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org) that will open/read/create Microsoft Word-format (.doc) files.

There is not a free version, only free trial and free downloads. You might look at Home Office, it is pretty good alternative.

Not from Microsoft. There is a free viewer from them though.
OpenOffice.org has a free alternative that edits word docs. It's the best available alternative to Office.

Open Office
Abiword
Software602
All are good alternatives to MS Office Suite, Abiword is Text Program Only, OpenOffice and Software602 are fully functional suites.. I like Software602, it's like OpenOffice as far as compatibility with MS Office Documents......

Open Office has writer that is actually better than MS word.
http://www.openoffice.org
You can open word documents and save them.
There are some problems but for the most part it is a very productive piece of software.

Abiword is brilliant - I use it in Linux, although it's also available for Windows. While you're about it, why don't you switch to Linux? It's brilliant - I recommend PCLinuxOS http://www.pclinuxos.com

Nope, but www.openoffice.org has a tool called "Writer" that will read and save Word files -- free.
