What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

One of the things I like most about Microsoft Word is its online collaboration tool through SharePoint and One Drive. Users can support the creation and updating of documents in real time, make comments on the document and track the latest changes. This integration with OneDrive and SharePoint makes sharing and cloud storage much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is part of the suite that is contained in Microsoft 365, and despite offering many benefits the subscription cost can be a bit high. Unlike the app which you can pay a one-time fee to purchase, the recurring subscription fee for cloud storage on top of the free storage may not be worth it for those who use Word infrequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

You can view the version history of a document. Sometimes if I delete an important piece of information, I can always get it back by displaying a list of all saved versions, along with timestamps and the names of users who made any changes to the document. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Microsoft Word is packed with essential features, making it a go-to for document creation. The basics like text formatting, spell-check, and page layout are easy to use. while advanced features like track changes, mail merge, and integrated templates are powerful tools for both personal and professional projects. I also appreciate the OneDrive cloud-saving for seamless collaboration and access across devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

working with large files can slow it down, and certain features, like styles and formatting, don’t always behave as expected. A speed boost and more intuitive layout for advanced tools would make it perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

The best thing I like about Microsoft Word is its speech-to-text fearutre. It has helped me a lot, especially because it allows me to note down what I'm thinking. Even though it is not 100% accurate, it still saves me a lot of time and effort. I can just speak out lout my ideas and it will write down what I am saying. Overall I like Word because it is such a default for any form of writing notes and content copies. It helps me a lot in work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I am not a fan of its formatting options. It is very hard sometimes to add an image or a table in the document. Harder to edit or move the table/ image around the page. It messes up the entire page format. Another element that I dislike about word is that it is hard to share a document with other people and work on it in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have to write a lot of content copies and even my own research papers and assignments, Microsoft Word is an easy to use application that allows me to create and format my work easily. It's many options of layouts for resume and portfolios is also useful for me. I have to write a lot of content for my company blogs and even take down meeting minutes. Microsoft Word is my go-to for any such writing. It helps me stay organized with my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
