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.

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.

What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

Easy to work, consistent through different upgrades. Easy to intgrate with other apps, many plugins available. If you use it frequently and don't want to pay subcription, there is a free online version available with Edge. The implementation is easy, no trouble whatsoever and the customer service is fast and on point.

In my business we use word everyday, for documents, letters and notes.

To add images is so easy as a copy and paste. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

Monthly subscription in the 365 versions, too many security vulnerabilities (too frequent updates). The automatic save is not default. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
