I have been using this product for over 20 years, and I have no intention of going back to what I previously used.

Pros

This is my go-to word processing software. I like all of the features, the mail merge is especially useful

Cons

The help solutions offered are not always applicable. They often steer me in the wrong direction. Otherwise, a great product.

January 23, 2025

5.0

Overall i use this software for writing the website blogs and storing the content in the word file and able to do the formatting like font style, font size and page footer and header addition in the word file to look impressive, also i am able to share the word file online with other member in the team, by just adding the email in the share list which is the easy thing and very useful for me

Pros

Microsoft Excel is very easy to use, i liked the justify feature and font styles from the Microsoft Excel

Cons

they dont have the recommendation functionality in the Microsoft Excel, i any spelling is wrong, there is no any AI or any technology to highlight that word or suggest the new word

Switched from

### "I Love Word"

July 7, 2025

5.0

I played with the app more than I use it, and still do. However, it has gotten me through school and work.

Pros

I enjoy using Microsoft word because it gives you more editing options and add on opportunities. Now you can even add voice comments to your documents.

Cons

The only thing I dislike about Word is the fact that there is a charge. Since that is expected though, they could use a decrease in price.😁

### "Best for professional use"

June 11, 2025

4.0

I mostly use Microsoft Word to write professional, administrative, or academic documents — it’s a reliable and full-featured tool that’s become essential for most text processing tasks.

Pros

I like how powerful Word is, with built-in styles, templates, track changes, and advanced layout tools. Its integration with OneDrive also makes collaboration and remote access much easier.

Cons

The interface can feel a bit overwhelming for casual users because of all the features and menus. And the Microsoft 365 subscription might be a drawback for students or people who don’t use it often.

### "Useful, efficient"

May 22, 2025

4.0

Pros

MS Word has plenty of useful function and is great for collaboration on the same document. The customized ribbon is very appreciable, as well as the Quick Access Toolbar. The cross-references tool is also great, and so is the possibility to compare documents. The integration with Copilot is even better.

Cons

There are technical issues that have been going on for years if not decades that have still not been settled, which is frustrating. For instance, formatting issues, styles issues.

### "Just give it a try!"

February 26, 2026

5.0

Pros

We use Microsoft word to log data and create templates to show new hires. It’s very easy to use and the navigation system is great.

Cons

I dislike that it doesn’t auto save. You have to manually save it. That’s my only complaint I have to make.

### "Word: An Industry Pillar"

November 26, 2024

5.0

Pleasant, easy, and very often. I use word to convert pdfs, to write knowledge base articles, to provide the formatting I will use to draft emails. There isn't a part of my professional life that word is not touching.

Pros

If there's anything to take from Microsoft Word, it's remembering that it is the industry giant. In compatibility, usability, and reliability you won't find another product that even breaches the tip of the iceberg that Microsoft word does. There is little to say about word that isn't positive. It's cloud features, built in, are robust and reliable.

Cons

There is an awareness, because of our digital age, that you need to have on macros. Word, like the other office products, may be at risk- putting you at risk. Be mindful. It isn't that word is inherently unsafe or dangerous, no more than your email is because a phishing link is clicked.

Alternatives considered

[LibreOffice](https://www.capterra.com/p/158981/LibreOffice/)

Reason for choosing Microsoft Word

It just works better. There really is no comparison. While Libre might have useful features, its no beast. It's comparing a Bicycle to a MotorCycle in terms of looks, features, and performance.

### "Reliable documentation tool i have ever used."

July 10, 2025

5.0

Word, meanwhile, is still the default program for clinical trial summaries to manufacturing protocols. It connects compliance and operations seamlessly.

Pros

We heavily use Word for regulatory filings, SOPs, an internal documents. The tools-performant and the templates help the setting in consistency in the teams.

Cons

Track changes gets messy in heavy collaboration, and the autosave doesn’t always catch changes made offline.

### "Microsoft Word: A Perspective on Collaboration and Ease of Use"

November 22, 2024

5.0

Overall, Microsoft Word is my preferred word-processing platform and has expedited my ability to collaborate with teammates, especially in governance-related matters.

Pros

I like the revised features of Microsoft Word and its ability to be my central word-processing platform. The inclusion of Microsoft Word in the Office 365 space, adds a layer of collaboration and automation.

Cons

There are times when Microsoft Word can be a bit buggy. For me, this traditionally occurs when formatting documents into a Word file. Using the paragraph feature can sometimes mitigate this, but there are times when you have to do additional troubleshooting which can be a time grab.

### "Stuck in the Past"

February 18, 2025

3.0

My overall experience with Microsoft Word is positive. However, I still remember many times, years ago, when I would work on a document for hours and then I would either forget to save it or it wouldn't save properly and I would lose everything! I think other products have now surpassed Microsoft Word and I rarely use it anymore unless forced to by colleagues at work.

Pros

Microsoft Word was, for years, the main document processing application. It held the top for so long because it did have great functionality. So much so that entire classes were taught on how to use all the intricacies of it. It is a very powerful tool.

Cons

The more I used other products, like google, the more Microsoft Word started to feel outdated. The functionality of the product felt worse and worse and I felt more lost.

5.0

Overall, Microsoft word is something I use every single day. It is reliable and easy-to-use that works well for everything from simple notes to detailed documents.

Pros

It’s easy to use and makes my writing look good. The spell check is super helpful, and I like that I can work on the same document with other people. It just makes writing more simpler!

Cons

It can be slow or laggy, especially with larger documents. It requires a paid subscription, it’s not the most budget-friendly option compared to others.

### "One of the Best Word Processing Software's "

July 7, 2025

4.0

Overall my experience with Microsoft Word has been very positive. This is the first word processing software I have ever used and it is in my opinion the easiest to understand.

Pros

I like that Microsoft Word has a simple toolbar where you can access basic document editing tools such as font, font color, font size, paragraph spacing etc. I also love how self-explanatory the software is, with quick access to search for any keywords that can help you find what you're looking for.

Cons

The software requires a subscription to get the best use out of it. It can also be difficult when trying to open a document from someone using a different word processor.

September 8, 2025

5.0

In doing eBay sales, I put my eBay listings into Word. Easily I am organized with what’s on eBay and what sold. Also I set up a shipping list

Pros

It is simple. With basic computer and social media skills I find Word to be useful! Being an online owner, I need to be organized. Word keeps me organized.

Cons

The cost. I like programs that are free to use to run my simple eBay sales. It’s easy. Not rocket science to use Word documents.

April 24, 2025

5.0

It is a great program that has evolved with the digital age over the course of years. It is one of Microsoft's flagship programs, so it will not decay over time.

Pros

It is so easy to use. Anyone can jump in and create a basic document. After you learn all the edit and layout options, making a professional document is a breeze.

Cons

There is quite the learning curve when formatting for formal documents, essays, and articles. There are plenty of tutorials and help on Microsoft's website.
