Microsoft Word 2000 a recent version of the popular and successful word processor from Microsoft (it has been superceded by Word XP, but as yet this is new and untested). From the early days of Microsoft, when they produced a package called MS Works, it was evident that the potential for word processors was great and it became a competition between Microsoft and Wordperfect to produce the best package. (There were other software companies that were in the competition, for example Wordstar was a very good word processor, but many of these couldn’t compete against the likes of Microsoft.) Whereas Wordperfect concentrated on functionality, involving complex ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of the greatest and if not THE greatest word processing programs ever. However to purchase the program is a little pricy though it becomes a little less shocking if you buy it with a package such as Works Suite 2000 or one of the Office 2000 packages. Word has been the standard in word processing for a while now and becomes very easy to use. The features are usefull though some are well hidden from the user. With the 2000 version the menu's will change depending on how often you use a certain item, this can be an advantage or a disadvantage - you decide :-) ...  Read the complete review

These days Microsoft Word is the 'standard' for wordprocessing. Although many people prefer other packages such as WordPerfect, the sheer number using the MS software means that everyone has to be at least familiar with it. Whether or not you're happy with Microsoft's domination of the market, there's no getting away from the fact that this is a pretty powerful word processor. It has features which enable you to do pretty much whatever you could want to, short of producing a professional magazine, and the features are (in general) easy to find and intuitive for beginners as well as experts. Problems include the irritating and ...  Read the complete review

Annoying Microsoft Word.Even though this is the best word processing program and the most widely used in the world but still is annoying. The problem is that when you’re typing and you make a mistake and you use the arrows to go back and you press delete to take away the letters you don’t want and you type in the letters you want, these letters type over your previous work that you want to be pushed along and therefore you have to type the whole sentence again. Please Microsoft correct this for the 2001 edition of word. If anybody has any suggestions on this problem please comment.  Read the complete review

My first introduction to a word processing package for PC was Word 97, and I found it very easy to pick up basic word processing skills. After reformatting my hard drive, I found I was left with just WordPad. A trip down to town to get my own copy of Word gave me my first indication about software prices. They are absolutely priced out of reach for many people. While the price of hardware has fallen dramatically, that is not the case for software. Eventually, I found a full office suite for less than £30.00 and it worked in the same way that the Microsoft suite does. So, my question is: why can some companies produce the software at such a reasonable price, ...  Read the complete review
