Individualise your word processing
Microsoft Word surpasses many other word processing programs with its extensive customisation options. As a user, you can customise fonts, styles and formatting according to your preferences. If several users are working at one workstation, each user can create and save individual templates with different fonts, styles and formatting. These templates can also be shared or used by other users who have access to the corresponding Word document. Real-time collaboration features also allow users to work together on templates and see changes immediately. This efficient and flexible use of templates is worthwhile for both individual users and team projects.
Another advantage of Word is its high compatibility with other file formats, which facilitates the smooth exchange of documents. Word's range of functions is impressive, but nobody needs to use all of them; rather, the programme can be adapted very well to the respective requirements. The integrations with other Microsoft products make incorporating word processing into Windows working environments particularly convenient and contribute to high performance and productivity.
What is the difference between a used licence for Word and the purchase of a new licence?
A used licence is a licence that has been purchased by a company and is no longer required. This is the case, for example, if the company cuts jobs, switches to a newer version of the software or files for bankruptcy. Soft & Cloud buys such used licences and sells them on so that our customers can buy and use Microsoft Word at a low price.
Used software is not subject to wear and tear and corresponds to a new licence in terms of performance and functionality, but is significantly cheaper to purchase. Another advantage of used licences for Microsoft Word: you buy the licence once and can use the software permanently without any additional costs or fees. This allows you to avoid the subscription solution favoured by Microsoft, where you pay a fee each month to use the software, while still having the full range of functions.
Because software does not wear out through use, you can save a lot of money with used software. This is especially true if you need several licences for your company, because with Soft & Cloud you save costs with every used Word licence.
Word 2024, Word 2021 and Word 2019 in comparison
LaTeX syntax, which is primarily used to display complex formulas, was integrated for the first time in Word 2019. The text-based markup language is used to write scientific documents in the fields of mathematics, computer science, physics and engineering, among others. This makes Word even better suited to the creation of scientific papers. There are also learning tools such as line focus, which make it easier to understand and internalise complex and extensive documents. For the first time, Word 2019 also offers the option of having texts read out loud or having the document or quickly translate individual sections into another language.
With the 2021 version, Microsoft has further expanded the line focus of the previous version and made it more flexible. Collaboration on documents has also been further optimised; you now receive a notification when a colleague makes changes to a shared document and no longer have to resort to emails or notes. There are also enhancements to the pictograms and media collections as well as improved drawing functions.
The 2024 version offers numerous other improvements and is the latest version of Word.
If you buy a version of Microsoft Word, 2024 is the version with the widest range of functions currently available. It contains all the features mentioned in the 2019 and 2021 versions and, of course, the new features introduced before that, including a modern, standardised interface with intuitive ribbons and extensive format templates.
