Advantages: Comprehensive range of options, easy to use, universally used

Disadvantages: VERY expensive

Microsoft Word is what most people, from schools to businesses, will use as their primary word processor, and it is very easy to see why.

It is easy to navigate around, any one even vaguely literate in computers will be up and running instantly. The program opens up with a big page in the middle, with options for formatting etc at the top and bottom.

You write the text that you want, and it is easy to input pictures and other still media, and format it with borders etc. Then you can do a number of things with the document, email it, print it or copy and paste it.

It really is easy to use, and has a very comprehensive number options, which would suit a proffesional. It's suitable for a range of seriousness, and fits in everything under one roof.

It does cost a lot though. At £150, it is very expensive, and you ave to wonder whether you are payng over the odds for the name. There are plenty of free suites out there that are just as good for the home writer. It is understandable that businesses etc would use Word, because of the reasons mentioned above, but you can quite easily find a perfectly good free suite for you at home.

Summary: You have to be the one to decide whether you want to fork out for this software
