Introduction to Microsoft Word Online
Microsoft Word Online is part of the Office Online suite, allowing users to access and utilize Microsoft’s most well-known applications directly through a web browser. This platform offers similar functionality to the desktop app, enabling users to work on documents stored online or shared with them easily.
Accessing Microsoft Word Online
To begin, navigate to your Office home page. Here, you will find a dedicated menu for Microsoft Word, where you can access blank templates and documents for creating new content. Microsoft also recommends documents that may be useful to you. The last section displays all your Microsoft Word files, including those stored online or shared by coworkers via OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, or Outlook.

Upon opening a document, you will encounter the upper headband, which serves as a link between Word Online and the entire Office suite. From here, you can open other applications or return to the Office portal. You can also change the document's name and path, provided you have the necessary permissions.
Utilizing the Search Bar
The search bar is a powerful tool that allows you to search for documents, contacts, and features within the apps. For instance, if you want to add a comment but are unsure how, simply type your query into the search bar, select the desired feature, and proceed to write your comment.
Ribbon and Tools
The online interface features a simplified ribbon by default. However, you can switch to a classic ribbon layout if preferred. This area contains all the tools necessary for processing your Word document. The three buttons available allow you to share the document, add comments, or review modification history when collaborating with coworkers.
