What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

The only thing i can dislike about this app is that sometimes few features are hidden deep inside menus and for that we have to find a lot in it . On some low end pcs this can app can be felt a bit heavy and lagging. Aligning the images and texts can be a bit frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Why Microsoft Word is the industry standard for All Things Writing!"
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

It has been refined and updated over its long history. It is intuitive to use. For example, if you want to insert hyperlinks, references, etc. (like if you are doing a research paper or an article for publication), it takes only a few button clicks to add links, pictures, etc., to your piece of writing. One can literally click a button and begin writing. Formatting, i.e., text size, indentation, paragraph spacing, etc., is straightforward to use. Also, its spell checker now checks for correct grammar usage, instead of merely misspelled words. It is like having a simpler version of Grammarly at your fingertips. Microsoft Word has many templates for creating ANY writing, whether it is a job resume, a business letter, a flyer for a business or an event, etc. The templates are literally available at the push of a button and are incredibly simple to use.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

The least helpful aspect of Microsoft Word is that little, innocuous actions can sometimes be more complicated than they need to be. For example, if your document has an extra page or two that needs to be deleted, you need to perform a sequence to delete those pages. The sequence itself is straightforward: Highlight the page you want, press a button, and then type the page number you want deleted into a window. The problem is that often it doesn't work. Please repeat the process multiple times. Or, if you wish to copy and paste text from the web into a document, it often does weird things, like keep the newly pasted text highlighted in a darkened color, which is difficult to remove. You frequently end up typing the text yourself, which wastes crucial time and eliminates the convenience of copying and pasting. In summary, its little actions that one needs to do [while using the software] that can sometimes be more difficult than they need to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Go-To Tool for Team Documents and Client Materials"
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

For me, it's all about getting the document to look exactly right and working with my team without headaches. When I need to put together a client proposal or an internal process guide, I know I can rely on Word's formatting tools to make it look polished and professional. The real game-changer is the collaboration. Having multiple people from my logistics team jump into the same document to edit a standard operating procedure, leave comments, and track changes saves us from the old nightmare of ten different email attachments. It just works, and everyone knows how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Sometimes it feels like there are too many options, and I end up clicking through menus to find the one specific setting I need, which can slow down simple tasks. Every now and then, the formatting acts a bit strange, especially if someone opens a file on a different version of Word or we convert it to a PDF, and I have to spend time fixing it. Also, while the online version is handy, it doesn't have all the features of the full desktop program I paid for, which can be limiting if I'm trying to work from another computer. For creating basic, good-looking documents as a team, it's perfect, but for anything that needs really complex design, I'd look at other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential Tool for Academic Writing and Collaboration"
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

As a PhD scholar, what I like best about Microsoft Word is its strong support for academic writing, especially features like reference management, formatting styles, track changes, and commenting. It makes collaboration with supervisors easy and helps in preparing well-structured, publication-ready research documents efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

"Reliable Cross-Platform Compatibility, Minor Font Frustrations"
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word has long been the go-to app on both Mac and PC platforms for written communication. Clients are always sending me files in MS Word and I am sending files back and no matter what platform we are working on, the files work the way they are supposed to. Because it's been around so many years, the way it works is very familiar and makes it very easy to work with and integrate into your work flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Sometimes when working cross platform, fonts can change even when you are using the same font on both platforms. This probably has more to do with working on multiple platforms, but it can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My favourite writing software!"
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is fairly user-friendly. If you have never used a computer type software to write an essay or something, this is the program that you want. It is easily downloadable and free and it will help with your spelling and proofreading. All of the function buttons are easily laid out at the top of the screen, and you don’t have to go looking for them, which is a waste of time if you do, but Microsoft Word does not make you do that. I can go on and on forever, but this is absolutely my favourite software For writing and probably one of my top 10 favourites in my life. I would highly recommend that if you do not have it that you acquire it. It is user-friendly and will not take you long to learn it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

This program requires or heavily encourages someone to have a Microsoft Outlook account, depending on whether it’s online use or off-line use. Sometimes people don’t need another email or need another account and that is Annoying. It is also expensive when purchased with the Microsoft outlook suite and unless you are in school and are provided with it for free, this is a major downside. Unlike Google Docs, Microsoft Word does not automatically save after every key stroke so if you do not save your document regularly, you can lose everything.

"Industry Standard with Great Features, But Needs Fewer Glitches"
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

I appreciate that this is the standardised app used worldwide as the default, despite the presence of many other options. Microsoft Word has been around much longer than its competitors, which gives it a strong position in the market. The introduction of additional features has been the cherry on top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

One aspect I dislike about Microsoft Word is the presence of numerous glitches that need improvement. For instance, whenever I attempt to adjust the header or footer, the entire document becomes disorganized, forcing me to start over and fix everything from the beginning. I hope this issue can be addressed, and the same thing happen while adjusting images inside word it's so frustrating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
