Microsoft Word is one of the easiest word processors to use. However, when sharing files or important documents (such as bills, etc.), most users tend to convert their Word documents to PDF files so that all parties can view them in the same way.
This helps in saving the formatting as well as makes the files more mobile device-friendly. Any document can be easily converted from Microsoft Word file to PDF file from within Microsoft Word itself.
