Yes and no, as I said, I found the answer quickly (in the first result on ixquick.com)

Are there alternatives to these two?

"I read somewhere on the internet", doesn't give much to go on. You wanted MS word compatibility, those fit the bill, that's all I can say. Libreoffice is available in ports and can be installed in the usual manner - this does not mean that it's had the seal of approval however.

From my perspective, it seems to me that you simply ploughed in believing that your knowledge of Debian/Linux would get you through. Now you're discovering it isn't the same thing, you're posting a lot of threads asking a lot of questions which are mostly covered in the FAQ / existing threads. You may complain about the "tone" of the forum and those responding, but you have been
helped.

I was not. If you can read and write posts - you can read the documentation and apply it, that's the only assumption I made.

Also wrong on all counts.

Everything "essential" is installed as part of the base system.

If you don't want to spend time familiarising yourself with the system, then perhaps stick with a ready to run "works out of the box" OS. There are a whole plethora of these out there which would suit your needs better,
