Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is extremely versatile useful when it decides to work. The subscription is only about $20 a month, which is not bad at all.
  • Adobe InDesign is the industry leader for desktop publishing. It's loaded with features and continues to improve with each update they release.
  • After using InDesign for 10+ years, I find it to be so intuitive. Continuous text boxes are so easy, the smart guide system is awesome, super easy to track down broken linked graphics.
  • If you want to make sure the content and the appearance of what you write looks appealing and interesting you should go for it. Easy to use and plenty of tools for the best experience.
  • InDesign makes it very simple to handle multi page designs like user manuals, brochures, magazines etc. that have multiple sections with separate layouts and themes. Definitely a better tool than using Photoshop.

Cons

  • Usually crashed or would recall a project and immediately say the project is unreachable.
  • There is a steep learning curve to using the software if you've never used it before.
  • Embarrassingly, it took me years to figure out that the reason my PDFs always saved with pixelated graphics was because of a compression setting in the Export window - it doesn't make a lot of sense to me that the default option would be majorly compressed. But that was kind of a personal problem/operator error!
  • It could be cheaper, and the option of direct publication should e there. Other than this, it is quite amazing.
  • You're in for a frustrating experience of you're coming from Photoshop. InDesign is great but takes time to get used to.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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.
  • It is very useful software for making any documents. You can make pdf, word file, research, resume, etc with the help of this. It has lot of features like spell checker, automatically save the documents, etc. There are many tools which help you in editing the documents and it is very simple and versatile. You can also encrypt your documents with password.
  • One of the best writing letters and memo applications. It has many templates and is very easy to write letters and many more futures are available. Before this, we had many problems writing memos and letters.
  • - Microsoft Word is the only word processing tool anyone needs, any type of word document can be made on Word with ease. - The features and the modern user interface makes the process smooth and intuitive.
  • Nothing- I hate when they change anything in a program that I use daily. Technology is like when you get in your car to drive it and the steering wheel is in a new location every time and you have to figure out how to work it so you can drive to work and the next day it is in a new location --- I do not have time to learn new crap that is essentially harder and more impossible to learn.

Cons

  • Microsoft Word is a great word-processing platform; however, when it comes to other languages, as minimal support for some languages.
  • It has complex interface which is difficult to use in the beginning but after starts using then it will easy for you. Its pricing is little high. Overall it is great software.
  • Automatic grammar check and auto-complete sentences and also worldwide compatible with every version.
  • - Using table function in word is quite difficult.
  • So hard to use, everything is different, cannot move a picture on the page or line up the writing... And lots of other things that changed and was not able to use...made me so angry.
