To keep the exact layout: Word itself
For fonts, tables, images and layout to stay exactly as they are, open the document in Word and choose File › Save As › PDF. In Google Docs use File › Download › PDF; on a phone, Share › PDF in the Word app does the same.
No Word installed: put the text in a clean PDF
This route carries the text only: images, tables and custom fonts are not included. It's fine for text-heavy letters, notes and homework; use Word itself for designed documents.
