Office for Mac is not currently accessible. However, the iWork suite is, and there are other ways with which to open office documents.
YOu can access Excel files both with native OSX support as well as using Numbers, which is a part of iWork. ONe of the easiest ways to work with rtf and Word docs is to simply use TextEdit which comes free with OSX. Also, PDFs are readily accessible right from within OSX as well. If all else fails, you can either run Windows using BootCamp or a VM and run MS Office like that. So any way you look at it, Mac is a great platform to use, and I, for one, am extremely grateful to Apple for the amazing level of accessibility! HTH and have a great day!
