    Friendly Word Processor with all the capabilities

    Date: Jul 23 2023

    Summary: 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.

    Positive: 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.

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