OpenOffice. It is a suite and includes word and excel, I think powerpoint too among other things. You can choose to save in Microsoft Word formats as well.

First you'll have to hardsub the video using a program like Handbrake and then convert using Quicktime or a program like FFmpeg. Depending on how good you are at computers, you might want to just find a hardsub version of the video and just convert that.

Thank you for your reply. Sigh, i was hoping for a more easier solution. :-) thanks anyhow.

So my RAM became uber corrupt a couple of months ago and I had that replaced. computer works fine mostly but I can't seem to open a lot of my apps. ie. imovie,garageband,a few apps I've downloaded from app store, and google chrome is even acting weird(it freezes when I try to go to webpages). I haven't had time to go to an apple store for help yet.

and I was just thinking...

Should I do a full back up and just reset my MBP? Will that fix the problem? Opinions appreciated

A lot of people recommend periodically reinstalling your OS to boost performance. And it's not really a huge project so why not try?
