Microsoft Word: Write, Edit & Share Docs on the Go

Microsoft Word is a program for creating, editing, and sharing documents. It was initially released on PC but later ported to mobile devices. The app offers integration with other Microsoft products and compatibility of documents with the desktop version.

Design, Navigation, and Usability: Good for a Port

Word was initially developed for PC, and it is noticeable in the mobile version. Microsoft has released the app on mobile, and they had to make it similar to the desktop version. The company has released portable versions of its main Office programs, and Word is the best example of adapting the interface for mobile devices. It is convenient to use and pretty user friendly. New users would quickly figure out how the app works, while those who have already used the desktop version will know everything beforehand.

The usability is also great with Word on mobile. It might seem a bit slower and less efficient for basic features, and it requires some time to get used to, but Word is a powerful tool with a lot of features, and once mastered, it becomes one of the best document editors available.

Features and Security: Wordy

The features cover most needs in terms of editing documents. You can enter and edit text, change fonts and font sizes, check to spell, set headers, insert pictures, count words, use the smart lookup tool, and many more. The app also offers a comfortable reading mode to view documents of different formats.

After the document is ready, it can be shared via different methods: you can save it locally on your device, send it via e-mail, or share it with your cloud drive. The best option for those who work both on PC and mobile is to store documents in OneDrive for instant synchronization.

As for the safety, Microsoft claims the mobile Word app to be as safe as the desktop one if you carefully manage to share the files. OneDrive is protected by Microsoft, so it is the safest choice to store documents.
