Apple's design goals in creating iWork have been to allow Mac users to easily create attractive documents and spreadsheets, making use of macOS's extensive font library, integrated spelling checker, sophisticated graphics APIs and its AppleScript automation framework. It includes the presentation application Keynote, the word processing and desktop publishing application Pages, and the spreadsheet application Numbers. for its macOS and iOS operating systems, and also available cross-platform through the iCloud website. Apple needs to do a much better job promoting their own apps.IWork is an office suite of applications created by Apple Inc.

Not trying to make fun of you, just honestly surprised there are still people out there with Macs who don't know about Pages/Numbers/Keynote. (I mean, Pages feels like such the obvious alternative to me that I'm almost a little dumbfounded that someone is actually asking this question, if I'm being perfectly honest. Even used it all through college, and, even with a writing heavy major, it served me perfectly well then, too. Highly recommended, been using it well since back when it still had the old icon. So, all that to say, imho Pages is the clear Word alternative for Mac, no contest. All you need is a web browser (Edge or Firefox will do) and sign in at. So even if you're away from your Mac, you can still access these apps and all your documents. Plus, Pages/Numbers/Keynote all have iOS counterparts and web app counterparts, and they all sync via iCloud. And it's very well integrated for things like multi-tasking and collaboration, and it is frequently updated with new features and improvements. Pages is made by Apple, so it'll definitely look good and blend well UI-wise. It comes pre-installed with every version of macOS since I think Yosemite or El Capitan, so you should already have it. I mean, Pages (and Numbers and Keynote) should be the obvious, no-brainer alternative.
