From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Too many documents and Office 365 is a $10 month sub scam.
Dont buy Office 365, just use the Office live.com. Yes, Microsoft are reusing their live.com.
It is free, I use it for dealing with résumés.
https://onedrive.live.com
You don't have to keep the sub. Pay $10, convert the files, unsubscribe.
I can't comment on how many documents you have, but there's a free version of Office 365
If you're already thinking of extracting/attempting to run a desktop version of Office, you may as well save yourself the effort if you can and give the free online version a try. You'll be using a proprietary piece of software either way.
