A Word document is an acceptable format for creating documents like letters and reports, including color, clip art, images, videos, or plain words. Over the years, Word documents have become one of the acceptable methods of conveying digital information. But, even with the advancement and adoption, it is still prone to compatibility issues, version history sharing, and metadata sharing, among others.<\/p>\n
