There's a reason this one survived

Reviewed 3 months ago

I've used (and taught people to use) word processing programs for more than 30 years (anyone remember Word 6?), and produced everything from web pages to book-length documents using it. Over the years it has become a reliable and multi-featured product, but the "look and feel" are stable.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Un logiciel de traitement de texte incontournable pour la bureautique

Reviewed 9 months ago

Étant utilisateur depuis plusieurs années, j'ai jonglé entre la version 2007 et celle de Microsoft Office 365. Je suis satisfait par la suite bureautique qui permet d'élaborer des documents de différents formats. Beaucoup d'options sont présentes. Je n'utilise pas toutes les fonctionnalités. Petit plus dans la version Office 365, c'est automatiquement mis à jour. Je suis globalement satisfait par Word.

Pros

La possibilité de faire du traitement de texte avec beaucoup de fonctionnalités : - les polices, les marges, la possibilité de créer des tableaux, d'insérer des images, l'intégration avec les autres outils du pack bureautique...

Cons

Quelques bugs de temps en temps. Des mises à jour qui modifient l'interface. Il est parfois difficile de retrouver ses repères d'une version à l'autre.

Word a tool for everyone

Reviewed a year ago

Word has allowed me to make important files during my academic studies, it is very easy to use, it has a series of tools that improve the presentation of the document, it also helps us to ensure that our tasks do not have spelling errors.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

MIcrosoft Word e la sua strategia vincente

Reviewed a year ago

Utilizzo Microsoft Word da anni principalmente in ambito scolastico. In quanto studente di ingegneria aereospaziale, il software è stato impiegato insieme ad altri programmi facenti parti dello stesso pachetto per la creazione di documenti universitari, serviti per la comprensione facilitata degli argomenti di studio ma anche per la creazione di lavoro universitario con valutazione e per la raccolta di importanti dati detiti allo studio ingegneristico. Consiglio a chiunque di usarlo, facilità di molto il lavoro.

Pros

Facile, veloce, intuitivo, versatile e chi più ne ha più ne metta, chi non conosce una delle migliori alternative presenti nel mercato per la creazione di documenti. Microsoft Word ormai ci accompagna da anni con la sua facilità di utilizzo ma anche la sua complessità se lo si conosce nella vastissima personalizzazione dei più svariati documenti che può creare questo software. Adatto per piccole e grandi attività, ma soprattutto per la creazione di documenti scolastici di cui io ho personalmente usufruito. Insomma, dalla vastita della personalizzazione dei caratteri, alle tabelle, al layout e grazie alla intuibilità di utilizzo, Microsoft ha creato uno strumento per tutti e che ad oggi non se ne può più fare a meno.

Cons

Veramente pochi gli aspetti negativi di questo programma, ma sono per lo più derivanti dalla vastità delle personalizzazioni, e dalla ignorata conoscenza di tutte queste per chi le utilizza che può perdere diverso tempo a trovare ciò che cerca, tuttavia ci si può aiutare tramite la barra di ricerca degli strumenti di Microsoft Word che è in buona parte dei casi in grado di aiutarti, ma sporadicamente no e quindi può risultare un pò noioso e dispersivo del tempo che ognuno di noi ha a disposizione. Problema tuttavia opinabile dopo l'attenta esplorazione manuale dei vari strumenti e la trovata soluzione cercata. L'ultimo problema che ho riscontrato è la disconnessione casuale e ripetitiva dell'account universitario associato, ma avversita ovviamente facilmente superabile.

Unleashing Creativity and Productivity with Microsoft Word

Reviewed a year ago

Microsoft Word was a key component of our everyday operations while I was an intern in the university's pharmaceutical product development and research department. For writing research papers, producing scientific reports, and putting together presentations, we used it a lot. We were able to create documents with professional-looking layout and editing, effortlessly integrating tables, figures, and...

Pros

There are many benefits to using Microsoft Word. First off, it offers a complete collection of capabilities for producing, formatting, and editing documents, making it the preferred word processing program for private users, companies, and academic institutions. Users can navigate and operate effectively because to the user interface's intuitive design and well-known functionality. With the many formatting...

Cons

Despite all of its benefits, Microsoft Word has certain drawbacks. First off, the program is not free; it must be purchased separately or as part of the Microsoft Office package. Additionally, new users may find the vast array of functions and settings daunting and may need some time and training to fully operate the software. Opening documents written in other word processing programs occasionally results in formatting issues that may need to be manually corrected. Additionally, working with huge documents or intricate layouts may have an impact on the software's speed, resulting in sporadic latency or slowdowns.

Un programme démontré et solide avec une utilité incroyable

Reviewed a year ago

Je suis impliqué dans Microsoft Word dans des emplois sans fin depuis plus de vingt ans et j'ai toujours été satisfait de l'expérience qu'il donne. Naturel pour les fledglings, cependant, avec un peu d'extrait de creuser et d'étudier, le programme offre des tas de capacités utiles de haut niveau.

Pros

Microsoft Word est exceptionnellement instinctif à utiliser et en supposant que vous devriez vous battre avec n'importe quelle partie de son utilisation, la capacité d'assistance est étendue et simple à utiliser. L'immense gamme de formats accessibles et les contrôles d'orthographe / syntaxe minutieux impliquent que n'importe qui peut fournir des rapports à la recherche compétente. Mail blend est exceptionnellement simple à utiliser et extrêmement précieux pour les correspondances à grande échelle. Les mises à jour consécutives impliquent que les capacités et l'expérience client vont constamment au niveau suivant.

Cons

Microsoft Office est très coûteux, mais vous obtenez vraiment une grande incitation pour de l'argent. Le point de connexion est un morceau daté - mais dans le cas où il n'est pas dépourvu, pourquoi le réparer?

Fantastic software with comprehensive functionality and a range of tools for handling documents

Reviewed a year ago

Microsoft Word is a full-featured program that sets the industry standard. The combination between Word and Viewpoint is consistent. I will recommend this program since it is a well-designed computer program for clients of all expertise levels. I can send emails to clients more rapidly. In spite of its imperfections, Word remains my go-to computer program for composing compelling and engaging fabric. Microsoft Word offline editing spares my day, particularly when there's no web association. 

Pros

Microsoft Word incorporates plenty of organizing choices that permit you to tailor your archives to your inclinations. Since of the expansive number of formats available, as well as the broad spelling and linguistic checks, anyone can make professional-looking papers. The page format, character designing, and passage designing apparatuses are very advantageous and empower the fast development of proficient and clear writing. It is basic to collaborate among a few people working on the same papers much obliged to the interaction with Microsoft Cloud 365. Microsoft Word permits clients to deliver archives quickly and effectively and keep them in one area. 

Cons

I accept that working with words and visuals may offer assistance me superior. It may, be that as it may, be overwhelming at times due to the number of choices accessible. There are still issues with participation since as it were one editor may alter the archive at a time. I completely miss being able to tailor the organizing down to the character level.

Per una scrittrice di libri microsoft word è tutto!

Reviewed a year ago

Word è arrivato come primo approccio quando io, ragazza ormai ventenne, riempivo diari su diari colle mie storie di vita. In quel periodo è letteralmente sopraggiunto, nella mia vita, Microsoft Word. Che posso dire, se non che il suo ingresso me l'ha cambiata. Ho dovuto inizialmente abituarmi a scrivere al computer e non più su carta, o almeno relativamente poco, però è stato bellissimo vedere i primi...

Pros

La possibilità di scrivere, poichè io sono una scrittrice che ha vinto la pubblicazione di 7 libri, e senza word sarei letteralmente persa. Prima di conoscere word, al mio promo approccio al pc da ventenne, scrivevo qualcosa sul blocco note digitale, ma erano due parole. Poi ho scoperto Microsoft Word e mi si è aperto un mondo, letteralmente. i miei libri abbozzati sui taccuini, sono stati trasferiti sul pc. I miei appunti di poesie scritte dopo un lutto, dal titolo "Le conseguenze della morte", trasferite al pc grazie al famosissimo word, hanno partecipato ad un concorso letterario ed hanno vinto la pubblicazione in un libro cartaceo. Ed è stata solo la prima vittoria di una lunga serie. Grazie a Microsoft Word il mio sogno di scrivere nel secolo 2000, si è realizzato!

Cons

Nulla, lo trovo un format utilissimo. A volte ho dei dubbi su come contare i caratteri, o inserire l'interlinea singola piuttosto che la doppia, e allora faccio una veloce ricerca e trovo nella tendina fornita da microsoft, tutto l'occorrente per risolvere ogni mio problema.

Word voor het maken van softwaredocumentatie

Reviewed a year ago

Word heeft mij laten zien, hoe je in korte tijd een heel mooi en zakelijk document kan neerzetten. Daarnaast is het vertrouwd bij mij en vele anderen.

Pros

Erg breedt ondersteund, aangezien 90% van de mensen om je heen word geïnstalleerd hebben. Daarnaast makkelijk te combineren met een microsoft365 account wat aansluit bij ons en veel andere organisaties. Hierdoor is het betaalbaar en goedwerkend.

Cons

Veel documentformatten die niet van word zelf zijn, worden slecht ondersteund. Daarnaast werkt de koppeling tussen online samen werken en lokaal een document maken erg slecht. Online heb je aanzienlijk minder opties en wat je offline maakt gaat niet altijd goed online. Word vooral gebruiken als je met niet veel mensen tegelijk moet werken.

Microsoft Word : Un logiciel de traitement de texte polyvalent et pratique.

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Microsoft Word est un logiciel de traitement de texte très complet et pratique. Parmi ses nombreux avantages, j'ai particulièrement apprécié sa facilité d'utilisation et sa flexibilité. Il offre une grande variété de fonctionnalités pour créer des documents professionnels, ainsi que des modèles personnalisables pour gagner du temps. Le correcteur orthographique et grammatical intégré est très utile pour éviter les erreurs de frappe et de grammaire. De plus, la synchronisation avec OneDrive permet de travailler sur les documents de manière collaborative, avec un accès facile et une sauvegarde automatique. Enfin, la compatibilité avec différents formats de fichiers facilite la collaboration avec des personnes utilisant d'autres logiciels.

Cons

Dans l'ensemble, Microsoft Word est un logiciel de traitement de texte très complet et pratique, mais il a tout de même quelques inconvénients. Parmi ceux-ci, j'ai trouvé que le logiciel pouvait parfois être lent, en particulier lors de l'ouverture de documents volumineux. De plus, bien que le correcteur orthographique et grammatical soit très utile, il n'est pas parfait et peut parfois laisser passer des erreurs. Enfin, l'interface utilisateur peut sembler surchargée et compliquée pour les utilisateurs novices, ce qui peut être un obstacle à l'adoption du logiciel.

Word, per chi ha tempo

Reviewed 2 years ago

Molto spesso inizio utilizzando Word poi mi "trasferisco" su altri prodotti un po' meno zeppi di scelte e più semplici per ciò che mediamente si deve utilizzare un editor testuale che abbia possibilità di formattazione appena un po' più complesse. Molto più scorrevoli nella produzione di testi mi sembrano LibreOffice, Brave, Notepad++

Pros

È un software talmente "pieno" di funzionalità che lascia sbalorditi. L'interfaccia è accattivante, il prodotto è frutto di un'esperienza decennale. È il software di riferimento non solo per la videoscrittura ma anche per la realizzazione di documenti più complessi.

Cons

Quando si dice "troppo"... Ha talmente tante funzioni che talvolta lasciano l'utente un po' sgomento. È esattamente il contrario di un "semplice" editor di testo, non ha quasi nulla di semplice, non è assolutamente un editor del tipo "apri e scrivi". Sono certissimo, per esperienza personale vissuta a scuola, che chi lo utilizza sfrutta una percentuale minima delle possibilità offerte da Microsoft. Troppo, dovrebbe essere commercializzata in parallelo una versione molto più economica, soprattutto gratuita, che abbia nell'essenzialità i suoi punti di forza.

Cons

Uno degli aspetti più critici di Word è a mio parere la gestione di documenti con una impaginazione accurata e complessa.

Devolución del uso Promedio para estudiante Universitario

Reviewed 2 years ago

La manipulación de toda la información final se realiza mediante el software en cuestión; esto consta tanto en el desarrollo de metodologías de trabajo, normativas, comunicados entre pares, entrega de informes finales o manuales de protocoles, por lo que puedo afirmar con toda seguridad que es uno de los softwares que más utilizo a diario y con los que más problemáticas he resuelto en el menor tiempo posible gracias a, como mencioné anteriormente, su interfaz amigable en cuanto a tareas simples. Si bien he trabajado con otros softwares de procesamiento de texto por diversas razones, me decanto por este por lo mencionado, además de la innegable corriente que tuvo mi formación académica, aunque no sesga mi preferencia por el mismo.

Pros

En primera instancia, la interfaz del software se muestra muy intuitiva para las opciones básicas, así como el menú en donde poder indagar sobre las funcionalidades no tan clásicas, así como la personalización del texto, ya sea mediante gráficas o imágenes.Si bien presenta algunos inconvenientes con algunos extractos al pegar texto (en mi experiencia), los casos han sido puntuales, por lo que diría que es muy versátil en cuanto a su compatibilidad, así como con otros softwares de edición de texto de similares características, incluyendo el detalle no menor del mismo caso con softwares en otros sistemas operativos.

Cons

Aspectos que considero no tan "específicos", como por ejemplo la correcta configuración de los márgenes de impresión, así como la asignación de los espacios al ubicar un objeto en el documento, no son tan intuitivos para un usuario que comienza a relacionarse con este, al menos basándome en lo que recuerdo de mis primeras experiencias como estudiante. Considero que el área de configuración para la impresión cuenta con oportunidad de mejora en cuanto a un desarrollo más intuitivo en cuanto a la manipulación de los objetos en función de la posición en el papel ya que no siempre un simple desplazamiento de márgenes satisface el requerimiento.

Decent software for managing documents with an ease

Reviewed 2 years ago

Microsoft Word is my to-do software for creating documents and other promotional materials like flyers, brochures, newsletters, etc. The customizable templates provided by Microsoft Word are of great help especially when I am out of ideas. I absolutely adore the number of features and fonts it has. The offline editing of Microsoft Word helps save my day especially when no internet is available.

Pros

Microsoft Word is undoubtedly the best software for creating and managing documents with ease. It comes with a number of different customizable templates that can help a user create birthday party invitations, bookmarks, traditional newspapers, and newsletters in a jiffy. Microsoft Word lets a user create documents quickly without any hassle, store them in one place, collaborate with others, and edit them offline.

Cons

I love using Microsoft Word for creating newsletters, reports, etc very conveniently. It can however be overwhelming at times because of the features present in it.

A proven, reliable programme with excellent functionality

Reviewed 2 years ago

I've used Microsoft Word in countless roles for over two decades and have always been pleased with the experience it provides. Intuitive for beginners but with a bit of extra delving and study, the programme offers lots of useful advanced functions.

Pros

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.

Preferred product

Reviewed 2 years ago

MS word has helped us produce professional documents that are organized and clear. It has helped us with organizing and record keeping. Overall it helps us convey to others that we are a serious and professional business.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

There hasn't been a single day in the last decade when I haven't used a Word document to create streamlined files and fantastic reporting.

Word is a great document management software of the Microsoft collections, easy to manipulate through to give your best file an attractive read. With its endless templates that offer task-free designs for whatever document you are creating and with a program-friendly interface to easily and quickly navigate through. Adding images, arts, wonderful reference and layout tools and great add-ins makes document preparations and as well as customization simple for both novices and experts. As a consistent user, I’m greatly optimistic about the outstanding attributes of this software which allow anyone to be successful in whatever document. Word will undoubtedly appeal to you. I recommend purchasing the software and getting started with a positive file creation.

Cons

Some of the functions, in my opinion, have the potential to be more user-friendly. Incorporating a video tool could be a fantastic innovation. The weblinks are simple to insert, but if not properly specified, they result in a complete hoax. This also necessitates frequent bug fixes, as Word frequently clashes after every update. It would be nice to see the A3 print layout return in future versions. If not explicitly stated, printing these notes may result in a second page, wasting paper.

Mature feature rich Word Processor that is still very relevant

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

- Collaboration tools shared internally & externally and integrated with Windows task bar, OneDrive (local synch of shared filestore), @mention comments to assign internal tasks - Simple to use with available powerful tools such as form fields, excellent table support, even mail merge to Outlook email - Powerful track changes & review - Send as PDF email: Simple & use it all the time (instead of saving as PDF, then sending PDF).

Cons

There is some obvious innovation that is long overdue. - Tables that can easily perform functions like Excel (the feature exists, it's just clunky to implement) - Mail merge to Outlook email is incredibly powerful & could be streamlined to be a must use feature for individualized, but "mass" emailing small groups. - Templates (.dot) files & sharing of templates within an organization needs a UX & feature revamp - Built in easy Document Signing features
