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.

Have you tried the online version of MS Office? I'm not sure, but I think there's a free version. Depending on the file, you might be able to convert it to another format, then use a FOSS tool going forwards.
Too many documents and Office 365 is a $10 month sub scam.
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.
