Objectifs :

This document aims to provide a comprehensive guide on how to collaborate on a document using Word 2016 or Word Online, detailing the steps for sharing, editing, and managing live collaboration settings.


Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to Document Collaboration
    Collaborating on a document allows multiple users to contribute and edit content simultaneously. This guide will walk you through the process of saving, sharing, and managing collaboration settings in Word 2016 and Word Online.
  2. Saving and Sharing the Document
    To begin collaborating, first save your document to a hard drive. Once saved, share it with individuals who have permission to edit. This can be done by sending them a link to the document.
  3. Opening and Editing in Word
    You can open and edit the document in either Word 2016 or Word Online. There is no special author mode or command required to share authorship. If you are using Word 2016 and others do not yet have access to your changes, enable automatic sharing.
  4. Live Collaboration Features
    When recipients follow the link you provide, the document will open in their version of Word or in their web browser using Word Online. If they are also using Word Online or Word 2016 with automatic sharing enabled, you will see their changes in real-time. Color-coded flags indicate where others are working within the document.
  5. Managing Live Collaboration Settings
    To modify live collaboration options, navigate to 'File' > 'Options' > 'General'. Under live collaboration options, select your preferred settings. By choosing 'Always share', others will always see your changes. If you select 'Ask me', you will be prompted to share your changes automatically when collaborating for the first time.
  6. Important Considerations
    If you select 'Never', you will not collaborate live on this or any other documents. Only your changes will be visible until you save the document online. However, you will be notified when someone else opens the document. These settings apply to Word in general, not just the document you are currently working on.
  7. Conclusion
    Understanding how to effectively collaborate in Word 2016 and Word Online enhances productivity and teamwork. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can ensure a smooth collaborative experience, allowing for real-time editing and feedback.

00:00:08
So your first question might be
00:00:10
why did Microsoft redesign office?
00:00:12
It worked fine before.
00:00:13
Well the answer is simply to
00:00:16
make the programs easier to use.
00:00:18
Of course you can work any way you want,
00:00:20
but the commands I use most often
00:00:22
are right there on the page.
00:00:23
First, there's the right click menu.
00:00:26
Then there's something new
00:00:27
called the Mini Toolbar,
00:00:28
which appears when you hold the
00:00:30
mouse pointer over a selection.
00:00:36
The commands I use fairly often are
00:00:38
located on the ribbon. The ribbon
00:00:40
commands are organized into tabs.
00:00:47
And tab commands are organized into groups.
00:00:55
The commands I use less often
00:00:57
can be found by clicking
00:00:58
one of these little arrows.
00:00:59
They open up dialogue boxes.
00:01:03
Look familiar.
00:01:03
Many of them are identical to
00:01:05
the ones you used in Word 2003.
00:01:11
Finally, to get to the commands,
00:01:12
I use least often go to the backstage
00:01:14
and by least often I mean things
00:01:16
I don't need to get to as much.
00:01:19
This is where you open, save,
00:01:21
share and export files. For example,
00:01:24
you click print to see a print
00:01:27
preview. Set up your printer.
00:01:30
And print your document.
00:01:34
The options I use even less
00:01:36
frequently are here in options.
00:01:38
This is where you set U
00:01:40
general word preferences.
00:01:41
Options is also where you
00:01:43
come to customize the ribbon.
00:01:44
If there are certain commands
00:01:45
you want quicker access to.
00:01:50
So that's basically how things
00:01:52
are organized. Up next, we'll
00:01:53
take a closer look at the ribbon.
