Microsoft Word is the Word processing component of the Microsoft Office Suite, and is one of the most extensively used computer applications.
Its advantages include:
- It allows easy and near-instant textual input.
- There is a large variety of formatting options, including a variety of colour choices, the ability to change font-weight (bold/regular), underlining, etc.
- Images can be 'drag-and-dropped' into the application, inserted manually, or imported from the Word-art galleries.
- Lists can be easily created and formatted.
- Content is displayed using the standard HTML formatting, allowing great compatability and creating a standardised, easy-to-control layout.
- Compatible with a large number of standard document formats.
- Extensive help documentation.
- Self-explanitory dialogue boxes and menu options.
- increased office efficiency
- improved human resource utilization
Additionally, Microsoft Word being such a logical and easy-to-use program, it has decieved many into thinking they are 'experts' in the program, but, quite comfortingly, the common 'expert' can use it sufficiently to achieve most Word-processing needs.
