I don’t really understand your point. I’m used to MS Word and I think that’s what they use in school. There is some sort of discounted MS Office available through the school so I would have thought that’s what she needs to use.
To be fair, I’m old and not very computer literate.

If they use MS Word in school, stick to that
What kind of budget do you have?

In a less direct manner, the point is that apps like Google docs are cloud based so automatically back up as you type. The documents you have saved can also be accessed from any device you log into, so a phone, tablet, laptop or friends/schools device.
I use an iPad plus a Bluetooth keyboard for writing and it’s a great solution. MS office apps are all on the App Store these days too. If other family members have iOS devices you can turn on family sharing and share purchased apps between members. As a parent you could also set ‘screen time’ limits on certain apps and/or lock down certain apps entirely.
What’s the devices main use going to be? Online research and writing word documents? If it’s just that, an iPad can do that as well, if not better than a laptop.

Uh get her to use google apps or some such cloud app. Forget MS word and remembering to save files, this isn’t the 1950’s
