It is easy to use, works well for documents of any size, and has many useful formatting options. > > **Cons**: Sometimes formatting can be frustrating, especially with long documents. Also, some features feel too complex for simple tasks. > > Overall, my experience has been very good. Microsoft Word is a solid and trustworthy tool for everyday work, even if it has a learning curve for advanced features. ----- ### "The Most Reliable Documentation Tool There Is\!" — 5.0/5 > **Cameron** | *2 March 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy to use and versatile Microsoft Word is, it's simple yet professional user interface makes it extremely easy for anybody to use. Microsoft Word also has a wide range of templates that an allow you to make your own processes and workflows for any project / work you want to start or document which makes it very useful. It has made so many projects easier for me over my course of using it. > > **Cons**: I would say the thing I like the least about Microsoft Word is that it is difficult to collaborate with other people within the same document at the same time, as lots of the time if you both try to access it at the same time, it will only allow one person to edit the document at a given time. This is an issue because in the event of project work it's hard to brainstorm ideas and drive those ideas forward together. > > Microsoft Word is a great documentation tool that is easy to pick up for someone with very little experience with the Microsoft apps. This documentation function caters to all people such as people in the workplace, students or the average person who is looking to document their tasks. I wholeheartedly recommend Microsoft Word, it is great value for money and carries an essential purpose in all areas of life. ----- ### "Word is good in theory, but the formatting and usability sucks" — 2.0/5 > **Tobias** | *22 October 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integrated in a lot of services, is pretty well the standard when it comes to documentation software layout and design. easy to use, easy to find resources online to assist. > > **Cons**: The formatting of documents is so broken. across the webapp, desktop app, etc the formatting and stylization of documents changes constantly. For any documents which I am not certain will be opened in the desktop word app, I need to export to a pdf so it saves the layout. > > Frustrating as I need to do a lot of formatting for documents, and since word is so finicky, either it will break across services or freak out while I am attempting to format, hence breaking the format and making me need to redesign. ----- ### "My most used and default text editor" — 5.0/5 > **Samer** | *10 March 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is great for creating and editing documents, providing a lot of tools and features for the minimal fee subscription, while finding the user interface easy to use and comprehensive. The program is very helpful when integrated with other software to complete the workflow and enables sharing and collaboration easily and efficiently, where everyone can access the document at the same time and work on their part. > > **Cons**: It has a wide range of features and supports a lot of functions and customisations for the documents, while enabling the creation of many types and formats of files. > > Sometimes it is overwhelming and very detailed, and I wish the interface includes less functions on display while showing bigger icons. ----- ### "The Best Word Document" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love creating my documents using this function as it makes it absolutely easy to utilize on a daily basis. > > **Cons**: I don't like how when I copy and paste certain things it will not paste it correctly and I have to alter the image or wording. > > Overall I have enjoyed using Microsoft Word for years and will continue to utilize it any chance that I get. ----- Page: 1 / 113\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/91382/microsoft-word?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/91382/microsoft-word) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
