Microsoft Word is one of the most familiar tools in the Microsoft 365 suite — but most people only scratch the surface of what it can do. Beyond typing and formatting, Word is packed with features that help you write faster, stay consistent, and collaborate securely.
Here are some smart ways to get the best out of Word every day:
1️⃣ Use Styles for Consistency
Instead of manually formatting text, apply Word’s built-in styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc.). This keeps your documents neat, consistent, and ready for automatic tables of contents.
2️⃣ Track Changes & Comments
Collaborating with others? Use Review > Track Changes so edits are visible. Add comments to clarify feedback without altering the document itself.
3️⃣ Smart Lookup & Researcher
No need to switch tabs — highlight a word or phrase, right-click, and use Smart Lookup to find definitions, articles, and more directly inside Word.
4️⃣ Use Templates to Save Time
From reports to resumes, Word’s built-in templates save you hours of formatting. Customize them with your branding for a professional look in minutes.
5️⃣ Protect Sensitive Documents
Encrypt your document with a password or restrict editing before sharing. This ensures only the right people can view or modify your work.
