"Microsoft Word is user friendly"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is user friendly with all of the features that one would expect to have with a word processing tool. Another great feature is that it is part of the Microsoft family so it can integrate with Excel to do great things like mail merge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

One thing I dislike about Microsoft Word is that there are rigid margins and other factors that make creating designs on Microsoft Word much more difficult than other Word Processors like InDesign. As a designer, it is hard to make documents that look the way I want them to in Microsoft Word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I use word everyday"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is used for a variety of purposes. Assignments for school, newsletters, and to proofread my own grammar in an email or post. It is most useful to me when I am unsure of how I am conveying information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Sometimes I find it difficult to make projects work properly when using "insert" or even "layout", having the help guides to aid in some of the issues but there are times were it could be better worded or the use of "simple" terms could come in handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Writing made easy with useful tools"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Flexibility to use is one of the significant advantages of Microsoft Word.

The customizable font is a great choice. Provides ease when you need structured and presentable writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inserting Excel sheets in words has been a big problem for me; it affects lots of work and reduces productivity. Adjustment of margins pages and tables in Microsoft Word is tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent choice for making notes, typing letters and likewise, only issue is with editing pictures."
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Typing with a variety of options which makes us very user friendly. It is very simple to use and save in many formats, the shortcut saves a lot of time and are easy to remember. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

The only problem I face is while editing pictures. If I want to impose one picture on another or just want to type something on the picture, we cannot do that. However the same can be done on powerpoint so I need to switchover to powerpoint whenever I want to that certain task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A classic for documents"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

It evolved throughout the years, adding what I believe it's the first AI I used for summarizing docs (its effectiveness is something else).

Great document editing tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

The fact that you cannot mention people within the document.

It does not really allow to insert dynamic elements yet.

Offline version is not fully leveraged with the cloud version.

The save functionality should improve a bit to sleect where to save it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great application for document management"
4/5

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Interface in Microsoft Word is hard to figure out where to go. It's hard to find some features in Microsoft Word. The autocorrect function isn't available in Microsoft word. It is pretty challenging to adjust the insert image in a file. Some times it delays in exporting files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
