Disadvantages of using Excel only as a word processor include:
- inefficiencies when changes to the data occur
- unless the summary table data are linked to the underpinning dataset, changes in this dataset means that the table data must be manually updated
- it is very easy to forget to do this, or to make transcription errors
- if there are many tables in a report, or if changes to the dataset occur frequently, updating the tables can be very time-consuming
- word processors are generally better at word processing than are spreadsheet programs.
