Yes. And you have both options with Microsoft Office: Either go the subscription road or the software license road.

I use both, plus Textmaker (because of the Duden Korrektor, the best German spellchecker and grammar checker).
I use Word a) because it has a superior outliner (the Navigator in LibreOffice and in Textmaker is merely a joke) and b) because I occasionally exchange files with colleagues/editors/proof-readers and have to see the changes they made (in the past, LibreOffice didn’t show all changes so I went back to Word).
