"Microsoft Word Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is an essential office software. You can easily copy and paste not only your office information but also your personal information from the internet and copy it to your mobile phone and computer. I also like the Insert Chart section from Microsoft Word software. The Insert Chart feature allows you to compare your data by day, month or year on a single page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

The Cloud version is free, but sometimes a little confusing. I don't like it because there is no One Drive service connected to the internet. There is a weakness in the insert link section that allows you to refer your information to another location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Word Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

I like all of the bells and whistles of word and how you can do a lot more than just type papers with the program. You can really create nice presentations and templates using the program as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I don't like that it's difficult to collaborate with others. In order to collaborate you need to save the document and email it to someone else to open. There is no ability to collaborate in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Document Creator"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

I like how it is easy to use and make a document. We can format the document easily by using different tools provided in the menu. It also provides multiple shortcut keys to speed up the work. We can save the file in many formats and it is widely used hence we can rely on it. All major businesses use Microsoft Word for document creation and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I think the UI can be a bit more improved as the UI of Microsoft Word has been the same for quite many years now and it would be great to add some new advanced features to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lacks a few modern features, like it should have a digital pen input where note taking would be much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"If you don’t love it you don’t have the most updated version"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

It is a software that you remember using as a student and that continues to adapt to the needs of the ever-changing world. It keeps enough familiarity where you can navigate through the upgrades and changes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

At times I feel like it takes too many clicks to get to where you need to go within the software. I wish there was a more intuitive way to blur out personal information within documents and to carry over formatting easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

I really appreciate the consistency that MW bring to my day. It is like a constant that I can rely on with the tasks and documents that I need to complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I dislike that MW is stale and unflexible when it comes to compatibility with other software platforms. It can get frustrating trying to edit document over and over just to fit the parameters of MW versus exported document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent app"
4/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

The best thing I like about Microsoft word is that it comes preinstalled with your system. It is very easy to use. Also, It provides you with a lot of different tools which you can use to modify your document as you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I don't like the part that We have to pay for using Microsoft word, which I think is a huge amount as a student. In replacement of this, I find Google docs better as it does not have any pricing features, and you can use all the tools for free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
