  Did I make the wrong assumptions about WordPress? I thought it would replace my Microsoft Word software.

  Hi there,

  WordPress.com is a web application for creating and managing websites, so it is not strictly speaking a “word processing app” like Microsoft Word.

  You may instead wish to try Open Office, which is an free open-source version of the Microsoft Office suite. https://www.openoffice.org/
