### "My review for Microsoft Word" — 5.0/5

> **Rebecca** | *January 29, 2019* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Microsoft Word is that when you open it, it shows you all the recent word docs you've done.  Easy to find what was just worked on.  I also like that you can create tables, cut and paste and insert.  You can tell it what type of document you want and it will format it for you.
> 
> **Cons**: What i like least about Microsoft Word is that I can't wrap in only one column and it not wrap in the column next to it.  Might be a learning curve for me tho.
> 
> I don't use this a lot for in my business but every so often I have to make a chart and I find Word is useful.
