Microsoft Word Pricing

I like the references and mailing options. Tremendous use for Academia, saved so many hours when I was a student.

Price. It is a little too expensive. Also, the fact that if you don't have a license you can't edit it at all. I think they should allow a minimum of characters to edit a document with the free trial.

+ first mover advantage: they created a market, so everything that other alternatives implemented is some kind of copy/inspiration of "good old Word" + well known interface + no compatibility issues even between older .doc versions + great functions that can connect other apps from MS Office (like connecting to Excel to print envelopes with mail merge functions) + great online library of doc templates + commenting and editor functions + vocabularies

- price, especially that for most of functions you may use a free alternatives like Google Docs, OpenOffice, LibreOffice etc. - current layout is very hard to use comparing to MS Word 97 - who need a WordArt in the world of Canva? - consumes a lot of resources, especially if document contains some pasted images (it should have something like lazy load in websites)

The most advantageous use of MS Word is its reliableness when working offline. This software will deliver a great environment of useful tools for generating or editing text. Currently, this software is working really well on Mac OS computers and it seems that the day of crashes is far behind. I like to use the track the changes features especially now that can be made by multiple online users, as well as the interesting interaction it provides when working on a project together.

First of all, I am noticing people, especially the youngsters, are not using MS WOrd anymore. This fact can make you pass the frustration of sending a file to someone that cannot read it. People are preferring to use online text softwares, which is free. So it makes me to think if the price I pay for MS is worth it.

MS office is one of the most popular and oldest software for document generation and management,also its a universal document reader and editor

software installation and cost is a problems for some users. also now size of this software has been increased.

While there are still good and popular options out there (Sheets and Google Docs), for education purposes Word is the standard: it's compatible with LMS systems, stable, has lots of features, and is convertable between applications and formats.

Maybe a few too many features? I'm not a fan of its aggressive automation either, although I do still appreciate spell check. The real concern is cost, which is helping shift education systems to Google options.

One of the advantages of word is that it has many tools that allow users to create creative files and with an excellent presentation, you can develop several research papers quickly and the best thing is that it has an autocorrector that allows you to know if a word is well written and avoid misspellings.

The cost of word is very high compared to other applications that offer the same for free, in addition to this for some people it can be very difficult to understand how to use word so they prefer other applications with a much simpler handling.

As for the most important resources of Microsoft Word vary according to my specific needs. I value features like: advanced editing tools, real-time collaboration or offline availability more.As for ease of use, Microsoft Word I generally considered easy to use. It has an intuitive interface and clearly marked tools that make it easy for me to create and edit documents. However, the complexity of some...

I have different opinions about my least favorite thing about Microsoft Word. I think some features are lacking or could be improved, like the lack of advanced design features or the need for more advanced image editing tools. I also find that some aspects of the product are difficult to use, such as the need to manually transfer information between different programs or the lack of automation features.

Microsoft Word is very intuitive to use and if you should struggle with any aspect of it use, the help function is comprehensive and easy to use. The huge range of templates available and the thorough spelling/grammar checks mean that anyone can produce professional looking documents. Mail merge is very easy to use and very useful for large scale communications. Frequent updates mean that functions and user experience are continually improving.

Microsoft office is quite expensive, yet you do get good value for money. The interface is a bit dated - but if it ain't broke, why fix it?

This is my preferred product. It has advanced features and can keep up with our growing needs, especially when integrated with other Microsoft products (which are all great). Microsoft word has so many available features and options. I've yet to need something that Word did not offer. It has been around for a long time. I'm very familiar with it, infact I've been using it since elementary school.

Price... There are so many great products that integrate with MS word, however all of them can be expensive. Word isn't really complete without these other products. For example you need a place to store the documents you create with Word. You'll then need to pay for one drive. If you want to make a presentation using these documents or files you've stored, you'll need to pay for PowerPoint.. I also wish that the offline accessibility was better.

1. MS Word is the first option that comes to mind and is synonymous with "Document." From the old days of the MS-DOS operating system with WordStar, MS-Word has been the first choice for countless users globally. 2. There are so many features that you may discover something new every time you delve deeper to learn more. Features like Mail Merge, Macros, Smart Art, Design Templates, Tracking Changes,...

1. Of late, MS Word is getting intense competition from Google docs. Most of the available features in MS Word are for free on the Google Docs platform. But for office 365, you need to pay a hefty amount. Bundling ensures that you cannot buy only MS Word. Even if you can, it will be expensive, especially when Google gives everything free. 2. Similarly, several open-source projects offer free service...

The software responds well to commands, best for reading and writing documents. Being a writer means that you typically do not have time to save every new idea every second, so having automatic save makes life so much easier for me - and unexpected load shedding doesn't affect my work. Features that are Grammarly-like, offline components ensure your work is error-free. The software can collaborate with other software like Adobe Acrobat, which is a plus if I need to submit work in pdf format. I love how the software is improving every year. There are always new features that make the use of the application easier. My favorite function is the word search tool, especially when there is a suspicion of plagiarism in my articles.

I hardly have anything horrible to say about the program, although that may be the case; there are a few things that Microsoft can do to help make it more assessable for everyone. 1. There are too many technical bugs in the converting function for people who work heavily with PDF files. 2. Not that simple to use, Microsoft can try to make the software a bit simpler. 3. The program is just overall expensive, especially now that there’s Google Docs, there is a chance people will leave Microsoft for Google Docs.

A lot of training materials, examples, training tasks are available, both online (videos, PDFs, descriptions) and "offline", I mean books, leaflets, notes) to get the potential out of MS Word. You can have it for free, if you are a student, can buy even genuine key for a very low price, MS "World" and some sw. are available with an MS account for free, with great functionality. Word and MS Office package...

There is an option to share a document and simultaneously edit it, this function needs polishing so as the online version and the Professional / O365 versions. Developing a program to use Word's resources may be not that easy at first, its programming language could be better. Having a password to protect you doc. is not the best, not that hard to crack it sometimes. Sometimes bugs may appear, like...

I am very familiar with MS Word in general and have used it since I was in high school. I like its ease of use and in general, it has all the features I need for creating and tracking changes to the documents I work with on a day-to-day basis.

I do not like that it is now a subscription-based service. While the cloud version is free, it is limited in space and the features are slightly different. I do not think it is worth the subscription price and much prefer the desktop version to the web version (except for the ease of access of documents when I am out of the office). Formatting, especially in regards to tables, tabs, and margins, has a tendency to get messed up every so often in the browser version.

The most impactful feature for me was the ability to work offline and have basically total access to my past and current projects and documents. Another vital feature to my business as well as just everyday life are all of the extra templates, themes, fonts, designs and tutorials available online that are easily and seamlessly integrated into the app. You literally click one button or link, search...

I feel like there could definitely be MORE fonts and design like features. Even with the linked online database there's a need for more design aspect especially if you're not familiar with how do you do things from scratch using Microsoft word. Otherwise there's not a whole lot I just like about word I wish it was cheaper or that the free version was as fully accessible as the paid version that can be frustrating.

Microsoft Word is an all in one, easy to use, professional and feature rich word processing application that never lets me down and gets the job done quickly and beautifully.

I dont like the selection of fonts provided by microsoft. I had to download some of my own and added them manually.

Microsoft Word is one of the absolute best programs out there. I was able to integrate third-party apps for in-app pay. It was extremely convenient. Also, my calendar synced up with my task lists and vice versa. I didn't have to remember to do it or let my assistant know.

This software is a little more confusing on the general interface than what the average consumer is used to seeing. However, I do have faith. People do move with the times and I'm certain it will be a memory when grandmas didn't know how to text. It's also very expensive for what you get. I do love the additional features but, to be honest, Google Workspace may have its issues, but I'd much rather deal with it than pay the cost of Word.

This program is user-friendly and has made a lot of difficult tasks simple and easy to implement. I have been using this program for more than eight years and I still use it because, it makes my work so easy that I can make different types of documents, write essays, make resume, cover letter, job application, proposals, reports, books, and other types of documents. It takes less time to learn and...

Although, it is difficult to talk about the things I do not like about this software. I still want to say that, its pros are much more than its cons, because of the fact that it is flexible, trustworthy and simple to use. The only minor thing I do not like about software is that sometimes it is difficult to change some documents into a format that you like, but that also could be the result of not knowing how to do it.

I have used Microsoft Word since the '90s, and now I'm an advanced user. I am a career coach, and it's an everyday partner in my activity of creating and managing documents, effective CVs, resumes, letters, handouts, educational tools, projects, and agreements with my coachees. I love the power of a well-written presentation, and this tool and its advanced features are high-performative. In particular, I love the control panel; it's full of options and well-organized, and the style feature allows me to create beautiful documents. Another feature that I frequently use is the dictation tool: I can "write" while reading. It's accurate and fast!

I think it's a little costly, but I make professional use of writing, and this is affordable. Its complexity needs high system requirements, and its use isn't always fluid. One more thing: customer support isn't the best. It could be more streamlined and efficient. A big enterprise like Microsoft can do much better for its clients.

Easy to use Help function always available and detailed Easy to share and collab even if on multiple platforms Easy to integrate on MS Office products.

MS Word tries to force you into using other products from MS Office Yearly licensing can become expensive

MS word is one of the tools that I do not think I can do without one day. It was and still is the application that I use daily for preparing reports, writing and editing texts. I don't think the space here is enough to write what I like in MS word, it's amazing, I like the blank page that allows me to add as many words, numbers, tables, images and links as I want, and I like the many options that MS...

Certainly nothing to mention, and I do not think there are any other applications that can compete with it and provide the same quality and the same value.

Microsoft Word is easy to use, in the home section you will find the most use functions, every button has a popup help that describes what the button will do. The other sections allows you for example to insert tables, images and change the layout of your document. The print preview is under the File Tab, I usually use CTRL P to recall it. Documents can also be password protected for more security, just keep in mind that if you forget the password you will not able to open your word file at all. I mainly use Word to create short manuals, but sometimes i write commercial letters and also funny greeting card. A great program, worth the price. I tried other similar programs, but Word is much better.

Word is not free; in case of troubles you have to reinstall the office suite, not the single program

Microsoft Word is an invaluable tool for anyone looking to create, share, and manage documents. Its powerful features are easy to use and allow me to quickly format and organize my documents. With its built-in collaboration tools, I can easily work with others in real-time. Additionally, Microsoft Word's security features provide me with secure storage of my data, so I can rest assured that my information is kept safe and private. Overall, Microsoft Word is an essential tool for anyone looking for a reliable, easy-to-use document creation and management system.

The only thing I don’t like about Microsoft Word is that it can be a bit expensive. Apart from that, the product is an excellent tool for creating and managing documents.

The most effective element for me was the capacity to work disconnected and have fundamentally complete admittance to my past and current undertakings and records. One more fundamental component to my business as well as daily existence are every one of the additional formats, subjects, textual styles, plans and instructional exercises accessible internet based that are effectively and consistently...

I feel like there could be MORE textual styles and configuration like elements. Indeed, even with the connected web-based data set there's a requirement for more plan perspective particularly on the off chance that you're curious about how would you get things done without any preparation utilizing Microsoft word. Generally there's not a ton I very much like about word I wish it was less expensive or that the free rendition was really completely open baffling.

Microsoft Word allows me to create very well organized documents thanks to its wide variety of options for editing. It is a software with a good performance capable of creating very professional documents, which makes it indispensable in any area of ​​work, especially in office work. Word also supports multiple formats. The more you know about Word, the more you know about how to take advantage of all the features of this powerful word processor and how to save much more time. It also integrates very well with other programs in the Office package.

It's a pretty heavy program. As the number of objects and pages increases, the program slows down a lot, especially on computers with low resources. On the other hand, it has an innumerable number of options, which are distributed in a confusing way in the interface. The learning curve of this program can be very slow and many times the experience is not enough to know all the possibilities offered by Microsoft Word.
