You can't download Word. I would suggest

1. Any documents you create for this person be created with WordPad.

or

2. Buy Word.

Most Word versions can open documents from at least some versions of Works
(and others with added converters), but since you're on the sending rather
than receiving end, I suggest you choose a Save format in Works that any
Word user can read. You may be able to save in some Word format; if not, RTF
can be opened in any word processor.
