The OP could be the parent of a school-aged child too. Or be a parttime
student himself. As I wrote, the requirements are pretty lax. Just read
'em for yourself at

The non-commercial, educational use only restriction is there but it'd
be difficult to enforce.

To repeat, if the OP uses Word predominantly and doesn't use VBA,
there's no much difference between the 3. If that were the case,
another alternative would be installing the free OpenOffice if cheap
and same are the overriding concerns. Buying another license even of
Works wouldn't be as cheap.
