My experience with Microsoft Word is great and always satisfactory. Brilliant.
Complete Word is important and it is super easy and dynamic to use.
There are things that I cannot learn. It has a lot of information, it is complete.

I would say the Microsoft Word, Excel is essential to any office use.
I have been using excel since the 1990s the cross platform use with Word and Power Point make this my one of my favorite softwares
updates can be confusing at first as icons, drop down menus, may change.

Made it easy to communicate timelines and expenses to various clients.
Includes every spreadsheet-related function one could ever need. Extremely nice UI.
Not as intuitive as some other Microsoft products, such as Word.

I can't imagine excel not existing. The next best thing would be Microsoft Word.
It is my first go to any time I need to organize data. Working at a school requires a lot of work with Excel. It's easy to use after learning the basics. I still learn something new each time I use it.
I wish shortcuts were accessible from excel itself. There are times that I have to Google how to use a specific feature because either I forgot or I don't know how to use it.

The easy of Excel is uncanny. We use these to process all of our work and payments are done through excel.

Formulas make using excel great for payroll worksheets as well as keeping track of mailings sorted by zip code or name
Integrated with all Microsoft programs especially Microsoft Word. Easy to import or export data. Great for sorting and filtering data

it's very flexible software to make many calculations and with different criteria by equations or by (multiplication) or even by simple addition (auto sum) and i love it. Thanks
most I like in Excel is conditional formatting it's useful and very good idea also charts is one of the things I love and needed.
nothing I don't' like in Microsoft excel it's very useful as in some cases I use it as replacement for Microsoft Word.

We send out bulk physical mailouts to our subscribers, and use Microsoft Excel to make and update these mail merge lists. It integrates well with Microsoft Word, so we are able to print out large mail merged documents and send personalized mail to our subscribers.
I like that Microsoft Excel is strongly integrated with Microsoft Word, and works as a mail merge data source so we can create merged documents.
The only negative I can think of Microsoft Excel, is it not having useful live collaborative editing features, which we end up using Google Sheets for.

Have been able to do specific data processing that is not possible on other software platforms that places Excel as the Go-To software for data application.
Ability to organise and process large quantities of data onto a platform that is easy to use.

I like that it makes calculation easy as you do not have to use the calculator. Also it has amazing fonts.

Microsoft Excel is the best tool to manage data, to calculate data.It is also a word processor and data base managementI love it.
Most of the people have Microsoft Excel, so it is the standard in the market. So it is very easy to share data and information with other colleagues. Moreover, it is very easy to use
When you have a lot of data in the file it takes some time to open it or to upgrade the data after any change. You have to be careful about it.

Highly satisfied with Excel, i would give a 9/10 rating. There are many functions to it other than just spreadsheets. Great software for graphs and charts.
It is very user friendly, I like how many of the formulas are already listed and you don't have to actually create them. Customization/styles is very easy and there are plentiful options with just one click for those that aren't very creative with colors, fonts, etc.
It's a bit tough taking the spreadsheets and getting them to format correctly on a word document by Microsoft.

Integral part of my office work.
Microsoft Excel has a host of features that can meet almost any features/functions that I need while maintaining spreadsheets. Being developed by Micosoft, not surprisingly, it integrates well with Microsoft Windows operating system and other Microsoft Office suite of products including Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, and Access.
They need to make Microsoft Excel more user-friendly. At times even after years working on this software, I feel helpless!

One of core products by Microsoft that everyone uses wherever I worked. You can keep there your text, photos, tables and much more.
It's very easy to use. You can use other Microsoft products inside it such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft One Note.
Sometimes it freezes. If you use Excel and Word at the same time and Excel stops to work, you can't use Word as well. Formatting can work better when you work with texts from different sources.

Overall, I would describe my experience with Microsoft Word as extremely productive to my work. To emphasize its importance I would say it is 1 of 2 programs I cannot work without. The other being Microsoft Excel.
What I like most about Microsoft Word is that it is so straight-forward and useful as a word processing program. All the features are relevant to everyday use and there are never any bugs. I feel like Word must be an essential tool in everybody's toolbox because its applications are endless.
I did not dislike anything about Microsoft Word. I have been using it since 2009 and never had any issues with it.

I would say I use Microsoft Word on a daily basis and without this software, i am unable to do any tasks in my daily activities.
Microsoft word is not just an ordinary text editing software but it is the most convenient software for spell checking, grammar and even just putting up an image to print in a specific manner you require. It is very easy to use which is a great feature.
If certain features of the basic SUM function were available in Microsoft Word it would have been great, without the requirement of typing the calculations in excel and then copy-pasting them on Microsoft Word.

It's the best word processing software you can use. Period.
From typing a simple document to integrating photos, Excel sheets, and more, you simply cannot go wrong with Microsoft Word. It's the best word processing document.

All my papers and projects are completed using Microsoft Excel. I love the various fonts and the customization present in the app to produce clean, professional work.
Though they are improving, I have been mostly unimpressed with some of the default templates that are provided (i.e. cover letters, business reports, etc.). I usually have to make some major modifications to some of these templates to get the appearance that I want.

IA good experience, fond memories of learning word, and to be honest i owe a lot of my online typing prowess to word.
Word is the original, everybody else takes cues from Microsoft when it comes time to edit their documents whether it's in Excel,or word, or even in the PDF realm.
Only the price, Microsoft seems to think that they own this format and I hate to say it even though their the originator there's a lot of open source software that does the same thing. So much i can barely tell the difference.

Microsoft continually updates the word with great features such as draw that was recently added.
Word has a lot of support both online and through Microsoft. One of my favorite use of this software is the mail merge feature which saves a lot of time and automates data from excel to word.
Not all features are easy to understand and use. To use word to it's fullest extent, professional training might be required. However, there is no word processor that comes close to Microsoft word that I have used.

There are pros and cons to Microsoft - older generations swear by it and usually purchase and roll it out without considering other options that have hit the market. I prefer Google but like mail merge features and how it talks to excel.
Everyone has experience with Microsoft Word. It is the nature of the beast working in education and is the standard across the industry. You take the good with the bad as it is Microsoft.
Only talks to Microsoft software hard to use offline and is most expensive platform with outdated features - also students don't prefer it

I have different opinions about my least favorite thing about Microsoft Word.

Word is getting better and better with time. The 365 version is even better. Happy with it.
Word is my tool of choice for any document that requires an organised and professional presentation. It provides many powerful and convenient options such as indexing, integration to office and vast page and text configurations.
Microsoft could use some lessons from open suites such as LibreOffice un regards to autocorrect in spreadsheets. Also spreadsheets in docs could work as they do in Excel instead of "dummy" tables, providing more power to the tool

I have to write technical documents describing processes and How-to's. Microsoft word is key in helping me achieve this in a professional looking manor.
Nothing can compare to Microsoft word. The feature rich word processing environment help Microsoft Word stand out from all the rest. The ability to customize the word processing process for each individual user is incredible. Also the ability to sync with OneDrive is also a great feature.
Microsoft Word is a little behind on the collaboration aspect and features that their cloud competitors excel at. It's getting better with the Office365 version but there is still a lot of work to be done on this front.
