What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

I have used it all my life and it’s the only thing I used that’s like it so I really like it. I love the spell check, how easy it is to format information, and how widely used it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I dislike that you can’t be very creative in it. If I need to get creative, I tend to use Canva. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Microsoft Word is a convoluted but unfortunately necessary program"
3/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

The only upside about using Microsoft Word is that it is nearly a universal word processing software used by almost every office we work with. It is also utilized in Microsoft 365 and across several other platforms used by other businesses we do business with. When writing and editing specs, using the same platforms is important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

The different versions of Microsoft Word through the years have changed their fonts and formats just enough to be noticeable when creating specs and articles with those using different versions of Microsoft Word. Word does not streamline well across its own product, making a problem when you are expected to have a 100% cohesive document. The rules and other formatting options are difficult to work around, and finding solutions is just as tricky. It's a very frustrating program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent editor with bugs"
3/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft word has been the best writing pad or editor which is suitable for almost any business. It is available in both online and offline editions which facilitates greater sharing and collaboration when working as a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Despite Microsoft Word being a great word pad or editor, it often operates in a buggy fashion. Mostly, when there is a huge document, it takes longer to load, which can cause data loss. In most instances, it crashes while typing and leads to the non-save of the document. In certain instances, the auto-save button also doesn't do quick saving.

"Nothing special about MS Word"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

That it is part of the Office 365 suite of apps and works together with them. Microsoft has added tons of value too their office suite, especially Office 365! Should be better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

It does not offer special features or enhancements in its word program at this point! You could use Libreoffice's word equivalent program and it would offer the same if not more features! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I used this product in the past since last year, but no longer"
3/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

I have always used this product in the past. I found most helpful are the tools at the top bar. I used indenting, paragraph, graphs, editing, undo, and inserting images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I was a bit confused sometimes editing my resume when I would use an indent, but it would take the whole paragraph with it. Sometimes it wouldn't indent, or I didn't understand how to move the entire section over a few spaces so I wouldn't have to bullet every line. I think there needs to be a better tutorial on how to build a resume or have templates that work with Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does the job but we are in 2021 so the expectation bar is set much higher"
3/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Like the simplicity of it as a document editor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Its formatting capabilities, sometimes the formatting sticks even when you deleter the words and it forces and converts automatically to the old formatting rules when you start typing in. Its not modern and its spell check is of the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
