What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is a really great tool for typing and editing documents.

I love that it has different templates for whatever type of document you need to type - letters, resumes, flyers amongst others.

Useful features such as numerous font types and sizes, colour formats, spelling check, grammar check and others help to make my documents far better than ordinary.

It's also really awesome that many of these great features come for free and one might never need to pay for upgrades.

It's very easy to navigate through. Even a beginner user won't find it difficult using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is not the perfect tool for editing documents that are not in the '.docx' document format such as PDFs. It may disorganize the layouts of this documents.

Also, accessing some cooler templates and features (to make your documents better) require paid upgrades which is quite expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The fact that I can use an already exiting template to create documents for whatever needs such as letters, flyers, business reports and others help to make work faster and easier, improving my efficiency.

Also, the document type is compatible and can be edited by many other similar software. Therefore there's almost no exceptions to whom Word documents can be sent to since it can be viewed and edited by any softwares the recipient has.

This also helps to make work faster as there's no issue of " documents can't be opened" from recipients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
