Well you won't get a "legal" free copy as a download but you can buy it in Pcworld or similar. Alternatively you could try using Openoffice

www.openoffice.org/

Which is free and will happily open and resave as full MSWord compliant (least it did when I last used it)

you can download genuine microsoft office software for free legally from microsoft.

Trial versions obviously, however they've saved my back once or twice

'Full MSWord compliant' is a tad optimistic, but it's very good. I used it until I got a phone that synchronised with Outlook so now use MS Office.
