Just to ask, why not libreoffice?
Or even Google Docs.
His neighbors use Office365, and I don't want to be 24/7/365 support for him.
My default is almost always LibreOffice, Google Docs, or NextCloud's integrated editors.

Have you tried the free version of Excel and Word Online.
I think they are enough for a basic user.
Free version? Where are those hiding? Free is always better, I don't think they're doing anything complex.

If you have a live.com account, or i think an Outlook.com account and go to the OneDrive area, you can create new files right there by right clicking.
If they are sharing files via email, Outlook.com will open them in the browser via the Online app automatically.

Sad as it is, that might be asking a little much. I know he has a skype account, but doesn't know how to answer a call yet.

Sadly, I do know just how sad it is...
If they don't use Outlook.com for email, the option is pretty much out the door anyway.

You just need a free @outlook email account.
The only problems is all the files to save or load must be in Onedrive.

The free versions are pretty sparsely optioned, but they'll work in a pinch.

Eh? The free version is the same online version that comes with O365 business accounts. Sure it doesn't have all the features of the local install, but it still has a ton of features.

It didn't have some of the simpler things I do in Excel, like Freeze Panes.
It's really just for simple use. But still worth a try since it is free.

I tested Excel Online Free and only misses the Pivot Tables
-
Yep, those are two of the features I know are missing from the online version.
