Microsoft Word is an application developed by Microsoft which for several years has helped us create professional and high-impact documents thanks to all its integrated tools for editing and configuring not only text but all the elements we can add in Word like images, tables , hyperlinks and more..
Undoubtedly, this application is used in many areas such as professional, educational or personal, since the creation of text documents is essential today. In addition to its widespread use, it is an advantage when sending and receiving such files.
Now, to use all these functions without any problem, it is required that our copy of Word 2016 or 2019 be active since otherwise we can only use Word for a period of 5 days so that access to these utilities is then restricted.
