Word vs. PowerPoint

Incoming SA25 here.

Quick question, does anybody actually uses word for marketing materials? It’s so clunky and takes twice as long as PowerPoint imo.

My thinking is that those fancy documents we see are made in PowerPoint with the page resized to look like a word doc, but I’m not sure if this is how things are actually done on the job. Is there a disadvantage I’m missing in using PowerPoint over word? Should I be practicing word more?

Thanks!
