Reliable Document Management Tool

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall it is clunky and I switched to google docs

Pros

While this is a solid tool, technology has evolved and Microsoft word has not adapted to the change. It is user-friendly for basic document editing and has basic templates for flyers, newsletters, etc

Cons

Products that integrate with Microsoft word are pricey and the collaboration tools are not competitive against google docs.

Great word processor

Reviewed 7 months ago

I use Word on a daily basis to verify documents. I use track changes, the option which really saves my time and makes my work easier. I highly recommend the app!

Pros

Modern versions of Microsoft Word are simply amazing. They feel light and clean. There is a plethora of options and functions neatly organised and easily accessible. there are a lot of resources to browse when you need help.

Cons

I do not really like Microsoft support system. Whenever you speak to the agents they always tell you the same thing, sometimes completely irrelevant and it is much easier to find support on your own online.

Microsoft Word is GREAT !

Reviewed 2 years ago

Its a great program to use, definitely worth checking out and investing in. Would highly recommend

Pros

The system makes your work flow much easier than without it. I highly recommend implementing into any companies system. The compatibility that this has with other office programs is so valuable and we would be lost without it ! May seem silly but the spell check is a lifesaver !

Cons

Not a big fan of the split screen view , even when attempting to put it back onto 1 page , it still eventually splits even though the reader is selected to single page. The formatting could use some update so it is easier to find the correct format as there are SO many to choose from.

A reliable partner in everyday activity

Reviewed 2 years ago

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. The same applies to account management: it's cumbersome and unnecessarily bureaucratic. A big enterprise like Microsoft can do much better for its clients.

Pros

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!

Cons

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.

Un ottimo prodotto, ma con qualche problema

Reviewed a year ago

Uso Microsoft Word praticamente ogni giorno per una moltitudine di ragioni - dalla creazione e correzione di documenti per uso didattico alla realizzazione di materiale per giochi di ruolo da fare in compagnia. Le potenzialità sono infinite, ma non apprezzo il concetto di un prodotto in abbonamento, e la licenza permanente è difficile da installare. Il supporto sul sito dedicato è carente.

Pros

Leggero, intuitivo ma con tantissime possibilità avanzate e nascoste. Molto personalizzabile.

Cons

Alcuni glitch (soprattutto nella formattazione del testo e della pagina) possono essere abbastanza fastidiosi per utenti inesperti. Il supporto di Microsoft tramite il sito dedicato è a dir poco carente.

Microsoft Word On The Go!

Reviewed 2 years ago

It solves much on my way of writing poems, articles and the likes with spelling ad some grammar matters. It benefited my work as a beginner in this world of having a website or blog. It also helped me a lot in constructing sentences and paragraphs in formulating write ups. Aside from these mentioned are the features of giving simplified designing of post ads and do much on word documentation functions. Based from the experiences I had, it did aid me well towards my projects.Thank you and keep it up. Go Go MS Word!

Pros

I've been using this software ever since it existed here in the Philippines' online world. Features like document management ,storage, collaboration tool, and etc. It is helping me much in my career since I started back 2000 in the Marketing field and eventually, in the academe perse as an Educator. As of today, since I started my online job I mostly used MS Word as an offline document file storage. I write here and do my blogs in a way before going online. I feel comfortable to it because it is already more than two decades of using it. I'm almost familiar to its functionalities and features and it is indeed an institution to take such software to its high level and do some upgrades. Go go!

Cons

I don't have much qualms on this software. I find it positively important at its best served. However, it is the part of editing functions where I sometimes find it complicated and confusing in a way.

Pricey and Capable (mostly)

Reviewed 2 years ago

Word is a full-featured program and it sets the standard in the category. One must be aware, however, that features, functionality, and use differ somewhat from modality to modality (e.g., desktop, Office365, online, app for Android). With those limitations in mind, a little careful planning will make the transition fairly (but not entirely) painless.

Pros

I enjoy using the desktop version of Word. I do miss the formatting flexibility of older products, but have adjusted to the Word world view. Within its limitations, this is a top notch program.

Cons

I really miss the ability to customize all formatting down to the character level. Unfortnately Word still forces some formatting to occur at the line or paragraph level. Workarounds are cumbersome and introduce errors when sharing documents between programs.

Una garanzia firmata Microsoft 365

Reviewed 5 months ago
Pros

Microsoft Word presenta molti vantaggi, tra i primi sicuramente è che è molto facile da utilizzare, e col controllo ortografico e grammaticale che offre è ancora più facile scrivere degli ottimi testi. Inoltre Word consente agli utenti di formattare e personalizzare i documenti a livello di intestazione, stili, caratteri, layout e margini. Presenta anche dei modelli predefiniti di documento, ad esempio brochure, o curriculum, e il software si integra perfettamente con gli altri prodotti Office

Cons

Per avere accesso a Microsoft Word è necessario acquistare l’intero pacchetto Office. Sebbene siamo molto facile da usare , Word presenta comunque tanti strumenti che per chi non lo sa usare molto bene può risultare difficile. È molto spesso consigliato infatti fare dei corsi per l’apprendimento del software , e questo può sicuramente essere uno svantaggio, poiché richiederebbe costi ulteriori Word, purtroppo, non collabora molto bene con altre app quali Google Docs.

Working on the roses on a daily basis, positive and negative, in the same program

Reviewed a year ago

My experience with Rose is very nice. I use it on a daily basis only for printing text and some tables, but with images it takes a longer time to set the image and commands.In terms of use, it is very excellent in document storage and preservation, and when the rose develops in any version, it opens with me with complete comfort

Pros

Ease of writing texts, spelling, proofreading, and printing in an organized manner in Word. The easiest program for making all letters and commercial and practical documents in general, regarding entering texts and saving them with ease, opening them in more than one version of Word on the laptop and mobile phone, and reformatting them from New and preserved in excellent ways

Cons

Negativity in rosesDifficulty after inserting the image. It is difficult to write on the image with quick commandsUnless the image is reduced and written opposite it, above it or below itWe hope that the solution to the problem of writing on images will be a little like Photoshop in writing faster on the image, downloading from the image, and writing any comments or explanations of the work without damaging the image or its location and what is written on it.

Microsoft Word is a useful application that is easy to use

Reviewed 3 years ago

Microsoft Word is a very useful application that I use regularly. This application has helped me to complete college assignments such as essays and group projects, since it allows me to type documents using an array of formatting options such as text, heading and paragraphs. Moreover, I have used Microsoft Word to create professional letters and memos at work. Undoubtedly, Microsoft Word is a useful and convenient application that has helped me in my personal and professional life.

Pros

Microsoft Word is easy to use and it has helped me in my personal and professional life. In regards to my personal life, I have used Microsoft Word to complete essays, proposals, case studies, and group assignments. I like that Microsoft Word offers a myriad of formatting options for text, paragraphs, and headings, which make my documents look professional. Moreover, in terms of my professional life, I have used Microsoft Word to type letters and memos. I love the fact that I have many templates to choose from which has helped me to create high-quality letters and memos at work.

Cons

Although Microsoft Word is a good application, I have experienced some issues with the software. For example, Microsoft Word crashed several times when I tried to insert images into my documents. Moreover, I have lost some of my documents because there were instances where Microsoft Word abruptly closed while I was typing.

Feedback of MS Word user

Reviewed 3 years ago

For more than two years, I've been using Microsoft Word. I think it's an excellent piece of software that's incredibly intuitive, easy to use, and quick to pick up if you're a newbie. There are various options for maximizing and exploring the Word processor. It is not necessary for you to have any skills in order to utilize this; it is simple and everyone can learn it.

Pros

Microsoft is practically accessible to everyone. It allows you to produce simple word processing documents such as letters and reports and customize them by adding elements, colors, and cliparts. It's very simple to combine with other Microsoft Office applications. It provides immediate assistance with language and grammar. People will find it very easy and accessible. It's simple to read and write, and it's also uncomplicated to collaborate with other users.

Cons

While Word is the best word processor on the market, it may be somewhat costly. It's also complicated because most users will probably never use half of Word's features. The intricacy may be a disincentive for some users, as the functions available may overwhelm them. Some functions are not always intuitive, and getting the intended consequences can take some time. Personally, I've had trouble inserting pictures and aligning text neatly around them. Although the offered options appear to provide what I require, I do not always achieve the desired result.

Microsoft Word: Una herramienta imprescindible para la creación y edición de documentos de texto

Reviewed a year ago

Microsoft Word es una aplicación versátil que brinda la posibilidad de crear, modificar y formatear documentos de texto de manera eficiente. Su utilidad se destaca especialmente en actividades relacionadas con la escritura, como la elaboración de informes, cartas, currículos y trabajos académicos. Gracias a su conjunto de características avanzadas, su interfaz de fácil uso y su capacidad para colaborar en tiempo real, se ha considerado como la opción más popular tanto para profesionales como para estudiantes.

Pros

Microsoft Word cuenta con una una amplia gama de herramientas tanta para formato y edición que permiten crear documento de cualquier tipo de índole ajustando la fuente, el tamaño, el color y el estilo del texto, así como aplicar estilos predefinidos o personalizados. Además, ofrece una interfaz de fácil uso en donde las opciones de menú y las herramientas están organizadas de manera lógica, lo que facilita la navegación y el acceso a las diferentes funciones. Otra gran característica de este software es su compatibilidad con con diferentes plataformas y sistemas operativos, estando disponible tanto para Windows como para macOS y dispositivos móviles.

Cons

A pesar de haber sido de pago, ahora está disponible mediante suscripción a Microsoft 365, lo que implica un costo recurrente resultando desventajoso para aquellos que buscan alternativas gratuitas o de menor costo. Puede presentar errores al abrir documentos que no sean de tipo .docx, es decir, problemas de compatibilidad al ejecutar los procesamientos de texto.

Microsoft Word: An Online Tool for Helping ALL Students, especially English Learners

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall, Microsoft Word has been a daily part of my professional and academic life since I started using computers. Now as a teacher, Microsoft Word is one of two document creation programs (PowerPoint being the other) that I use on a daily basis. It allows me the chance to plan better and more swiftly, connects to the cloud, allows editing for my student’s work, allows me the chance to individually work with studnets online, and helps build digital literacy and technological skills that my students can use for the rest of their lives. I love this product.

Pros

I like the connection between Microsoft Word, OneDrive, and Office 365 that our district has set up. From any device logged into our Microsoft accounts, myself and my students can edit and do work and have it saved to the cloud. I can create templates for all students to have their individual document for. I can give individual feedback to students using commenting functions. I can also have students organize where their work is saved and organize their computer. I can also boost English Learner’s written English skills by creating meaningful collaborative and independent work built within Microsoft Word.

Cons

I wish that there were more tutorials for how to use Microsoft Word in other languages, toggling other languages within the program(especially the main buttons on Word), and also easier connection with other products like Pages and Google Docs.

Microsoft Word is the Word To Beat

Reviewed 3 years ago

I really enjoy using Microsoft Office. The program is very easy to learn. You can even create a Table of Contents, insert spreadsheets and even charts.

Pros

What I like most about Microsoft Word is that in one program you have the complete desktop publishing experience. Not only can you type out the contents of a story but you can also layout out illustrations. There are also a number of methods to add paragraph & illustration formatting.

Cons

Microsoft Word still lacks the ability to easily place text or illustrations anywhere along an empty page. You'll have to insert a Text Box to accomplish this.

Always best for writing, editing and preparing reports

Microsoft Word helped in everything related to writing and editing texts, as well as correcting spelling errors in them.

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.

Uma ferramenta indispensável para qualquer escritor

Eu comecei a escrever meus próprios textos em 2010, e desde então o Word tem servido como uma ferramenta indispensável no meu processo de escrita e produtividade. Se hoje tenho 13 anos atuando como escritor, então passei todos eles junto desse programa que me acompanhou durante incontáveis horas em frente ao computador, sempre à disposição. Ainda hoje realizo trabalhos de tradução ou revisão, e o Word...

Pros

O Word deve ter sido a porta de entrada para muitos usuários que ainda estavam aprendendo a usar seus computadores nos anos 90, como eu. Desde então, eu acompanho a evolução do software conferindo pequenas melhoras nas ferramentas e interface. Ele é muito responsivo, podendo oferecer facilidade para quem não está habituado, e também uma gama de personalizações para os mais experientes. A ferramenta de ortografia é excelente, e mesmo nos trechos que não deveriam funcionar o programa oferece uma solução ou aponta as dúvidas. Sempre que vou começar um livro ou trabalhar em um ebook, o Word é minha opção de programa.

Cons

Vez ou outra algum erro ocasional faz o programa fechar, mas quase sempre o arquivo foi salvo em algum backup e pode logo ser recuperado.

Microsoft Word: Document Management

Reviewed 3 years ago

I am a professional student, so mI use Word daily in many, but certainly not all of it's capacities. I find it easy to learn, and easy to discover new details of the application. In addition, I find Word easy fo students to learn, and a useful tool for teaching computer file maintenance.

Pros

ease of use, compatibility, and variation in formatting. Word is the most used document processing software. I is used in most schools, businesses, and home offices. If you can learn word, you can learn transferable skills that are applicable to other platforms, such as Adobe Acrobat or even Apple products. In this fashion, you can learn skills useful in unrelated applications, such as search engines like Google and even Microsoft Excell.

Cons

Word is a little pricey, and not totally compatible with Acrobat and other programs. There is sometimes a formatting problem with other platforms and devices. there are so many choices in Word, it is complicated to learn. I do not like the constant upgrades that come out annually in Word. Microsoft has a monopoly on Word. You have to know Word to work in any office or school in America and the world. It's a little complicated to copy documents and change formats with Adobe Acrobat; it causes formatting problems, but it can be done. Word is the application I see used most in business, school, and home applications

The benchmark, but make sure you can find the bench ...

Reviewed 2 years ago

Word enables me to get clearly expressed content out to those who need to see it, and its near universal adoption as a standard means almost everyone I want to inform can read the documents it creates.

Pros

The measure of 'Word' is as soon as I enter text in this box, I wish I was doing so in 'Word'. I spell excellently, but I make a lot of typos, and Word catches them in a variety of ways, whether they show up as typos or grammatical errors resulting from a typo. Aside from that, I have been using some form of Word for over twenty years. The important thing is Microsoft continue to improve it as well as bringing it up to date. Too many software products vegetate or make ill-judged changes which make their functionality worse. Word, in the main, does neither.

Cons

Selecting existing documents and specifying where I want to put new ones is a mess. I can see no reason why the standard Windows interface is not used to save and retrieve documents in the normal way. Yes, give me a list of recent documents on 'Home'. Hmm, why a different one on 'Open' ... and then why use an unfamiliar interface to find or store anything else? I still can't get the hang of it, and I use it every day.

やや高価だが生産性ツールとしては優秀

Reviewed a year ago

独自のファイル形式を利用しているが、office製品は世界中に広く使用されているため、ファイルのシェアなどに関しては特に不便がない。word以外、pdfへ変換するという共有手段を備えている。ライセンスの維持費はかかるが、それ以上のリターンが見込める。

Pros

複雑な機能を覚えなくても、誰でも書類を作成できる。またoffice 365になってから、office製品同士の連携が以前より良くなっている。例えば、onedriveにwordファイルを保管すると、wordをPCにインストールしなくても、ブラウザ経由で必要最低限の編集が可能になる。

Cons

高度な編集を行いたい場合、多少の知識がないと、うまく書類を仕上げ出来ない。経験がないと、初心者だと多分索引の挿入するだけで苦労する。誰でも簡単に活用できるようにウィザード、ガイドラインなどを充実して欲しい。また一部の機能は以前からほとんど改善されていない様子。例えば、索引の登録に関しては、登録したい単語を一個一個自分で選択するか、文書にある同じ単語を全部一気に登録するかという2つの選択肢しかない。指定した章を登録範囲から除外するとか、自分で登録範囲を細かく指定できない。

Microsoft Word forever

Reviewed 3 months ago

I started using Word in 90s when letters were printed and sent with envelopes; it was already a great product. Never a disappointment, the program runs well and it's easy to use and you will learn quickly. In case of need there is a lot of tutorial and documentation on internet.

Pros

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.

Cons

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