What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

I use Word for pretty much any document that needs more than a few paragraphs. It can be an instruction, a draft, some course material or just a document I need to send to someone. What I like most is that I already know where everything is. I don't have to learn anything or think about which tool would be better for the job. I open Word, write what I need, fix the formatting a little and I'm done. I've been using it for so long that working in it feels almost automatic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Sometimes formatting in Word can be more frustrating than it should be. I'll copy something from another document and suddenly the font, spacing or bullet points look completely different from the rest of the page. Usually it's easy enough to fix, but there are moments when I spend more time adjusting the formatting than I expected. That's probably the only part of Word that still annoys me after using it for so many years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Word solving and how is that benefiting you?

Word gives me one reliable place to create documents that I know other people will be able to open and work with. I use it for instructions, drafts, course materials and other documents that need to look organized before I share them. The main benefit is simply speed. I already know how Word works, so I can concentrate on the actual content instead of figuring out the software. I can write something, make a few edits, clean up the layout and have a finished document ready to share without much effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
