Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word now is probably the most popular office software in common use. It is used as the basic to do word process. But till now, the potential of it has not been fully developed.

I designed a flyer in the class. It seems that it is the first time I have done that. Moreover, I found that a lot of work can be done by Microsoft Word. For example, questionnaires and posters can also be designed by it. Since it is the easiest software to some extent, both the students and the teachers can keep seeking the potential.

In my opinion, Google doc is a similar word processing service that is based on cloud drive. Google doc and Microsoft Word do share some characteristics. For instance, they can both do word processing work, and modify the fonts and sizes. Although Google doc don't allow the users to create colorful brochures or flyers, its most advantageous feature is that the texts can be stored in the cloud. The users can get access to the texts as long as they log in their Google accounts. This is more convenient than Microsoft Word, because Word cannot be easily shared and modified online.

In general, Word is worth trying for the students and the teachers. Although it is used for relatively low-level users, it can still be useful in most areas.
