You might be wondering, why do I even need Microsoft Word when my MacBook comes with Pages, a word processing program? Well, the thing is, Microsoft Word is still the industry standard when it comes to word processing, and if you need to collaborate with others or open documents from friends or colleagues, you'll likely need Word to do so.
Think of it like trying to watch a movie with a friend - if you both have different streaming services, it can be a real hassle to figure out how to watch together. Microsoft Word is like having a subscription to the most popular streaming service, so you can easily share and work on documents with others. Plus, if you're a student or work in an office, you'll likely need Word to complete assignments or tasks.
