All in all, Microsoft Word is just about indispensable for everyone working with business or academic documents. It's really multi-functional, user-friendly, and full of features that make my life so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The word processor is very complete, but you need to learn how to use all the features it has, depending on the kind of document, fortunately, there are a lot of content and tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

It is so very user friendly. Whatever you have in mind, MS Word has it for you - be it a large variety of fonts, colours, styles of headings, adding of citations, creating reference tables, placement of tables and images and much more. It does a basic level of spell check, grammatical check and highlights phrases that require your attention. The elements are also well organized, so that even a newbie finds it easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

I don't think there is anything that you would not like about MS Word. However, you can get past the spell check by using capital letters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Word?

The ability to create bulleted lists, add pictures, create captions, and change the fonts makes it able to be very creative. MS Word is so much better than Google docs b/c of all the formatting controls right at your fingertips. There are some tips/shortcuts that work in Word but not in Google docs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

FORMATTING. It is difficult to figure out why Word starts and stops formatting your document...ESPECIALLY if you are using multiple bulleted lists (bullets, letters, and numbers). It's like Word gets confused.

UPDATE: I've been using Word for the last 26 years and Word is more complicated than I led on. If you just need simple then Word is fine. But again the formatting can drive you absolutely bonkers. This is 100% tied to the lack of a decent structure for formatting bullets and outline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Word?

What I don't like, I believe could be an improvement, is the integration part with other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
