    "Friendly Word Processor with all the capabilities"

    Posted 2023-07-23

    Pros: Microsoft Word is still the most advanced word processor of all time. It is heading the way to most extended features, such as real-time collaboration, leading multiple users to work collectively on a single project. Its cloud integration is marvelous, consisting of MS OneDrive and SharePoint ensuring the synchronize the documents and making them accessible anywhere. A comprehensive set of multiple editing and designing formatting tools is equipped with themes, styles, templates, and other options to create a more appealing document. Additionally, its accessibility feature is a great help to users with impaired vision. It's near the corner to have a perfect AI bot working for us as an assistant for proofreading, spelling correction, command search, and many others to let us improve our writing. Furthermore, integrating software such as Endnote, SPSS, Nitro PDF, Grammarly, Quillbot, and Wordtune is excellent and seamless in MS Word.

    Cons: Microsoft Word is a great word-processing platform; however, when it comes to other languages, as minimal support for some languages.

    Overall: I use MS Word for official document creation for different purposes such as SOPs of the company, updating SOPs, Quality Management System Master files, and Regulatory documents (Letters, Intimations, and Notifications) because it allows us to save the paper as other formats such as PDF and others. MS Office 2016 is a friendly choice, but we highly recommend MS Office 365.

    "Not user friendly for tech challenged people. "

    Posted 2021-06-11

    Pros: Nothing- I hate when they change anything in a program that I use daily. Technology is like when you get in your car to drive it and the steering wheel is in a new location every time and you have to figure out how to work it so you can drive to work and the next day it is in a new location --- I do not have time to learn new crap that is essentially harder and more impossible to learn.

    Cons: So hard to use, everything is different, cannot move a picture on the page or line up the writing... And lots of other things that changed and was not able to use...made me so angry.

    Overall: Could not figure out how to use any of it. So different. Hate hate hate it.
    Some of use are tech challenged and it seems these tech people go out of their way to make my use of these programs miserable and difficult, even impossible to use!!!!! Used it once and asked my hubby to remove it and install the old word program that I know how to use and use successfully. With my very busy job I do not have time to learn new stuff.
