Can you read me? Loud and clear!

Reading made easy
In Reading Mode the text automatically flows into columns to make on-screen reading easier. In addition, only the tools you need for reading are shown. This helps you focus better on the content.

Writing made easy
With the familiar Word you can create, edit and share documents in no time. Most people can open and edit a Word document, after all it is one of the most widely used word processors in the world.

Everything in one place
With 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage you can access important files at any time. Install the Office apps on your mobile devices so you can access the latest versions of your files anytime and from virtually anywhere. Thanks to document roaming, the most recently used files are tracked so you can access them across devices and pick up exactly where you left off.

It's not just words. It's a conversation.

Collaboration
Sharing is a breeze. Save your files to the cloud on OneDrive, OneDrive for Business or SharePoint, and simply send everyone involved a single link to the file along with view and edit permissions. That way you always have the latest version of the file.

Teamwork You and your team can chat, collaborate and create documents together in real time in Word. While you and your team edit and make changes to documents, Word 2016's improved version history lets you view earlier drafts or restore documents to earlier drafts.

Always keep the goal in sight Track changes, add comments directly to the right of the text you're discussing, or reply to comments. Everyone can follow the conversation and stay up to date on changes to the text, layout and formatting.

Well, that looks good!

It's professional
Give your documents a professional look by aligning charts, photos and videos with the text. Helpful alignment guides appear as needed and hide when you're done. Thanks to real-time layout on the desktop and tablet, you can drag a photo, video or shape to the desired position and the text will dynamically wrap immediately.

It also works with PDFs
Here's a time-saver you'll like: open a PDF in Word on the desktop, and you can edit content such as paragraphs, lists and tables just like in Word.

It's tailored to your needs
With the new "Tell Me" feature you can search for a command, and you can access commands in Word directly from the search results. With "Insights", also a new feature in Word 2016, you can retrieve contextual information from the web right from the document.
