![]() When trying to train other users on Word it's hard to explain "sometimes it does this, but sometimes it doesn't" I almost have to train with contingency plans. While I appreciate the great perks of Word, some of its features can be quite frustrating and finicky. My favorites include being able to jointly review a document using Track Changes and comments, being able to save and re-use phrases/paragraphs in Quick Parts, being able to copy and paste font style using Format Painter, using the Find and Replace tool to quickly update multiple spots throughout a document, and being able to paste an excel list into Word to replace paragraph marks with a comma to create a comma separated list (or vice versa by pasting a blob of email addresses from Outlook into Word and replacing semi-colons with paragraph markers so I can plop it into Excel and have a clean, list that I can now sort and filter. ![]() ![]() Word outshines Google Docs or other alternatives in many ways. I didn't find it user-friendly to beginners but after a week I found that I could use the program flawlessly. Word makes it easy and saves me alot of time which I can use on other business aspects. Saving documents in different formats like PDF is as simple as clicking Save As and selecting the File type from the drop down list. I can add pictures and modify text to suite all my needs. There are templates that make the process even easier. I love that I can create any type of document that I need for any specific purpose. After getting used to how it works, everything becomes easier to use and before you know it you will be making quality documents quickly and accurately as there is a built-in spell checker to help you. It has become the standard in most businesses and they cater to end-users too meaning households can get access to the product at cheaper rates. Comments: I've used Word since Office 2010 was released and have installed it on almost every Business PC iI have worked on.
