I use Word on a daily basis to verify documents. I use track changes, the option which really saves my time and makes my work easier. I highly recommend the app!
Pros
Modern versions of Microsoft Word are simply amazing. They feel light and clean. There is a plethora of options and functions neatly organised and easily accessible.
there are a lot of resources to browse when you need help.
Cons
I do not really like Microsoft support system. Whenever you speak to the agents they always tell you the same thing, sometimes completely irrelevant and it is much easier to find support on your own online.

Word is still the best document software and worth the time investment to learn
Reviewed on 03/01/2025
Pros
I have been using Word for over 20 years and have seen it evolve through many versions. It has maintained its core functionality extremely well while adding a plethora of features and tools. In a Sharepoint environment, there are so many great collaborative tools that allow multiple users to create and revise documents together. A must for all businesses and educational settings!
Cons
Most users are only familiar with a fraction of the features and functionality available, so there is a learning curve necessary and sadly fewer and fewer people seem to be getting that exposure as simpler tools flood the market, which is unfortunate. Word still has so much to offer.

It could be better if improved. The layout edit and formatting gives me so many issues that I prefer to go with other software. If is 2024 and some of the features shall be updated, but it still gives 1998 feeling. Exporting the document is a lottery, you never know how the page layout would be.
Pros
Choice of fonts and choice of templates, it is universal for each PC machine.
Cons
Very difficult to navigate the columns and layouts once the document is more complex. Also, importing Word files can change the layout which appears totally different and can not be formatted.

There is a bit of a learning curve in order to have the full functionality of Microsoft Word…but worth it!

Microsoft Word
Reviewed on 15/01/2025
Pros
I love and appreciate everything about Microsoft Word, especially since I am a writer, it makes it easy for one to write and save documents in a number of formats. I have written plenty of articles, using Word and I love it.
Cons
Apart from the fact that it is expensive, nothing, I just feel like it would be more accessible if it was not expensive, but at least one can still use the online version of Word, it is free.

This is the complete word processing application that always works smoothly. The overall cost of the software is a little higher than i think should be asked but all in all it is well worth every penny when you save time and headache in the long run.
Pros
Microsoft Word is an all in one, easy to use, professional and feature rich word processing application that never lets me down and gets the job done quickly and beautifully.
Cons
I dont like the selection of fonts provided by microsoft. I had to download some of my own and added them manually.

Once I customized Word to my liking, it became a powerful brief-writing tool for me. It is a powerful program, and, because it has been adopted widely among businesses, it allows me to exchange drafts with clients without too much worry.
Pros
Once you master its idiosyncrasies, Word is a powerful tool. I like the ability to define my own styles and to create documents in a format that is nearly universal in business.
Cons
I dislike hunting through Word's options to try to figure out why it does some of the things it does. It isn't always easy to understand why it starts trying to seize the formatting of a document while one is typing. The menu organization could be clearer.

I have always had a great experience using Word, for handling documents and contracts. The ease of use and the ability to see all pages as a grid have been the best discoveries for displaying document products to show how many pages are available. Recovering unsaved documents after a power crash or other unexpected closing has been a lifesaver.
Pros
Things I like:
-Saving files in different formats
-Opening PDF files for editing
- Adding customizations to a document
- Locking documents
-Sharing documents to track access
-Notes in documents for collaboration
- Saving documents can be on your computer or cloud
- Unsaved document recovery
Cons
- Not free to use
- PDF conversions are not always right
- Some documents saved are hard to find since default saving sometimes changes after updates

Microsoft Word is one of the gold standard software options for writers and is pretty easy to use but can be costly as it is subscription based through Microsoft 365 so if you're looking for something cheaper another software may be more in your ballpark.
Pros
I love having options when I'm writing and Microsoft Word has so many different formatting options to choose from along with tons of different document templates for different projects.
Cons
A couple of things that I don't like are that it is part of a subscription program which can get pricey and it depends heavily on a stable internet connection which can be inconvenient for users in rural areas like myself as our Internet connection is anything but stable at times.

My overall experience with Microsoft Word is exciting and creative I love writing short stories and novels and I spend my time doing a lot of editing so using Microsoft Word really brings me joy I write a lot of short stories and I can be very creative save files , create books and work in the comfort of your own privacy. I absolutely love Microsoft Word for its ability to save all of my important documents and I most certainly recommend Microsoft Word to all it is a very awesome business and company.
Pros
I love Microsoft Word because it simply gives you the freedom to be creative and gives you the ability to write poems edit save documents share your data save data and important files Microsoft Word is an amazing brilliant company.
Cons
There's actually nothing I do not like about Microsoft. Everything you do on Microsoft Word can automatically be saved if you have a lost file you are more than likely able to recover it safely. Microsoft is a great way to store your important files and information.

Overall, despite some tabs, it is still user-friendly and easy to navigate for basic task. Compare to other tools, this one is familiar to senses and looks good to users when it comes to editing. Choice of color for the tool itself is not hurtful to the eyes, especially when you are in need to look at the document for a very long time.
Pros
Microsoft Word is easy to use. New user friendly and feels familiar to senses, making it easy to learn to navigate. I like that it has auto-correct and you can use it without having to use another AI program to assist you with grammar and sentence building.
Cons
Some of the tabs for further editing needs further studying for navigation like the picture editing or column insert, some of the function on this part is not obvious. You'd need to further dig in to learn.

It's familiar to me because I've been using it for a very long time, but even so, it is still tough to use because it's not user-friendly.
Pros
It's a standard for word processors, so anyone in the world will be able to read your documents using Word or many other compatible applications.
Cons
Sometimes it isn't easy to achieve the desired results, especially with formatting. In my opinion, Word has a very steep learning curve.

The document object model does have a concept of pagination, making it hard to write code to say "go to page three and include this content." I realize that this is something that would only annoy developers and not a typical user.

I am a daily user of Microsoft Word and am generally quite happy. I just have a hard time adjusting to updates and knowing how to update certain formatting issues.
Pros
Excellent word processing program that I use in my editing and writing business. I use Track Changes and it has been invaluable to making changes and recommendations in documents.
Cons
Regular updates. It is hard to follow all of the changes. Every couple of years the way Track Changes appears changes and it is frustrating. I spend time trying to change settings back and half the time I can't figure it out. Since Track Changes is essential to my work, it is hard when there is a change to it.

Overall, my experience with Microsoft Word has been very positive. It is a great tool that meets all of my word processing needs. I appreciate the extensive features, ease of use, and the collaboration aspect. While there are some cons around the cost and complexity, the benefits it offers outweigh those issues. I would recommend Microsoft Word to anyone who wants a reliable word processing solution.
Pros
Microsoft is an awesome software. I really enjoy features like spell check, grammar check, and thesaurus because they improve the quality of my writing. These features make it easier to produce polished work.
Cons
While it has many advanced features, some people may find them overwhelming to use. It can be a lot of functions to manage at once if they only require basic word processing.
