What's Bad

Interface and navigation

The user-friendly interface makes formatting much easier. Versatility implies a standard for the majority of users and broad application possibilities. In a collection of documents, you can create an empty file or use one of the ready-made templates. The collection of templates is displayed the moment you open the program. If you want to go to the collection while working with the document, select File / New. The so-called "Helper" has appeared in Word. This is a new type of search that gives you the commands you want. To do this, you just need to go to the "What do you want to do?" and inform the system of your intention. For new users, the section "Getting to know the program" will be useful. Experienced users can easily understand the features of the program. Here, the elements characteristic of this editor have remained, and some nuances have also been added.

Usability and functionality

It is not necessary to know and use all the features of the Microsoft text editor. You can complete work tasks by occasionally switching between the Home and Insert tabs. But you will be even more efficient if you arm yourself with even a few of the tricks from this review. Some professionals copy the content into Notepad before transferring text from the Word document to the CMS editor. Sometimes it is necessary to highlight several inconsistent text fragments in the text. To do this, hold down Ctrl and select the pieces of text you need. If you use copy and paste (and you probably do), then most likely you know about the enhanced clipboard in Word. If you are writing instruction, a user manual, or you just need to insert a screenshot into Word, this can be done very simply and quickly.
