even current steamdeck / steamos can run basically any desktop apps. I've seen some folks even run kdenlive (nle video editing app) on it, obvs using mouse&keyboard rather than the "gamepad". While it's gaming first ui, it does have a regular desktop too.
As for literally word/excel? Not sure, but doubt it. Reasonable alternatives like libreoffice or others? Absolutely.
