Anyone recommend any cheap solution to opening word docs and docs I did on iWork on my iPad don't really want to buy then again they are so much more expensive on the mac

NeoOffice or OpenOffice could help.

I think the OP is specifically looking for something that will open iWork docs on his Mac without buying iWork apps again

I don't think Office or any of the free versions (Open Office, etc) will do this without exporting them from iWork as a different format first

Ah, misunderstood the OP, as s/he was using "opening word docs" describing his/her problem.
Anyway, if those text documents are created with Pages, then you have to buy Pages for Mac OS X for another 20 USD.

You can buy it directly from the Microsoft site
It isn't available on the Mac App Store
