Default Keys not working & how to write, save, print documents without word ?

Hope this is a simple one compared to some of the questions I see on this forum ! I have a Lenovo laptop that is about half way (?) through its' useful life. Really don't want to have to buy yet, but a couple keys are no longer working; a really frustrating problem. Little can be typed without letter "c", and letters "z" and "x" also don't work. Is the cost of taking this to a place like best buy to get these 3 letters working higher than buying a new laptop ? I am not a gamer, and no longer use business applications, so can get by with a $400 or so laptop for social media, email, and looking up things on the web. What to do ? Presently, using a wireless key board with the laptop, but that's a real pain when I want to pack up the lap top and take with ! Also another question, since I only write an occasional traditional letter or document, is there a less expensive alternative than purchasing word yearly, or, do alternatives make it impossible to read and print the documents I already have saved on the laptop that are written in Word ? Thanks all......
