Swaminathan S.

Human Resources Coordinator

“For example, using hyperlinks (clickable element that allows readers to jump directly to another location within the same document) are very useful, particularly with large documents like manuscripts, SOPs, protocols, etc.”

Pros

“Fillable allows many different people (hundreds) from all across our country to enter data in a consistent format, and receive a confirmation at the end of the information they have entered, while our regional coordinators can rapidly review the data and process it into useful information for the region and the original user.”

“The form capabilities are varied and complex, and the storage of all of the data in a gsheet is a great help.”

Cons

“AT this time, I cannot think of any cons for Microsoft Word other than when an update in imminent and I have to close out & save all my open documents as they won't work as well or allow me to select sections or phrases with cursor to change or delete until I update it.”
HG

Hollie G.

Office Manager

“What I like least about Microsoft Word is that some of the advanced formatting features can feel overwhelming or confusing at times. When documents have complex layouts, spacing or formatting can shift unexpectedly and take extra time to fix.”
RR

Rebecca R.

Production Manager

“Sometimes Microsoft Word will save a file and cause you to run into some weird format issues with the file causing you to have to rename the file and overwrite the save.”
CW

Clyde W.

System Administrator

Cons

“Pricing and restrictions were hindering”
TM

Thomas M.

Helpdesk

“The user interface can be a little clumsy when you're dealing with lots of fields.”
CM

Campbell M.

Studio Manager

“I don't use the app very often, so the price was too high for me.”
