Groff does not behave in any way remotely similar to Microsoft Word,
and there is no intention that it should. It does not generate Word
compatible documents.

Groff can generate PDF documents, which could be edited using Adobe
Acrobat software, but presumably you are not interested in that.

Trying to be helpful: If you are looking for Open/Free software
substitutes for Word and the like, you could look at OpenOffice:

Hoping this helps!
Ted.
