This week we’re focusing on Microsoft Word. Specifically, we’re going to go over some new Word 2016 features that have recently been announced — things like pen drawing, having Word read aloud, looking over the activity of documents and how to share documents in both OneDrive (consumer) and OneDrive for Business.

If you have Office 365 Home ($99/year and you get 5 licenses), or Office 365 Pro Plus, then you’ll have the advantage of getting monthly updates and improvements with Word.

In my video, I demo Word on my laptop which has O365 Home + Office Insiders. If you don’t see the Draw Tab, keep reading for how to reveal it on your Menu Bar.

Microsoft Word for Mac: What You Get and Where to Get It. The most famous and most popular word processor on the planet remains Microsoft Word. The lack of Word and other Office programs has long been one of the negatives about buying a MacBook over a PC. That has changed, however, as recent editions have become available on the Mac as well.

Backstage View of Word 2016

Before we get to the new features, I start out by showing the ‘backstage’ view of Word. This is when you click on ‘File’ and then ‘Account’ and you see the product information, what version you have, status of updates and more.

When you start Word, you’re prompted to sign-in with a Microsoft account. This will really personalize your experience by keeping a list of recent documents, setting a theme and giving you the ability to add Connected Services as you see above.

Word 2016 New Features

Draw and Ink

There are many new features, we’ll be looking at the new drawing tools and pens first. Now, you have the ability to grab a pen and do some inking right on your document. If your screen has touch, use your finger to make symbols or even write something. If your computer has a pen, use that, or just use your mouse! There are multiple color pens, multiple widths that can be chosen and you can see the other options below. Very cool!

Only Office 365 subscribers get this feature and if you have it and don’t see the Draw tab, you’ll need to enable it with these instructions from Microsoft:

On the File menu, select Options.
Tap the Customize Ribbon tab in the Options dialog box.
In the box on the right side of the dialog box, tap the check box labeled Draw.

What can you do with the drawing features?

You can use draw/ink for editing, for writing math formulas (and have them converted to type), drawing shapes and having them converted to graphical shapes.

Read To Me

Word has become so much more accessible with the ‘Read Aloud’ feature. It’s found under the ‘Review’ menu item. Click on the read aloud and Word will read the entire document to you. It is a monotone type of voice. but it’s still nice to have.

Easy Sharing & Document Activity

I conclude the video by showing and discussing the new and easier ways to share along with how to see all document activity.If you have OneDrive for Business and SharePoint, it is so easy to share – see the video!

More Training Resources

Microsoft is great about giving out some great resources and training. Here’s the link to not just Microsoft Word Tips, but all the Microsoft Office apps.

Have you tried out the inking features from Microsoft Word? Do you see a way you can use these cool tools in your work? What about the reading aloud? Please leave a comment.

If you’re like most people, you use Microsoft Word for nearly everything you write such as documents, flyers, brochures and more. If you aren’t taking advantage of these 12 new features, you should give them a try.

Microsoft has improved it’s 2016 version with better navigation and functionality. It has a new ribbon and tab features rather than the old icon format with various levels you had to click through. The Quick Access Toolbar puts the features you use regularly right at your fingertips. Plus, you can customize the toolbar to your specific liking.The “Tell Me What You Want To Do” tab takes place of the old Search function. Click the box and simply key in what you need. Word will display a list for you to try, or take you where you need to go. For example, key in “convert to pdf” and Word will take you to the screen to do this so you don’t have to go searching for it.

The New File Tab now takes you to a backstage area where you can pick from terms like Open, Save, Close, Properties, Recent Files, Export, Save to The Cloud, Convert Version and much more.

Microsoft has improved their 2016 for educational purposes. The new Smart Lookup and Research features are one of the ways they’ve done this. It’s like having your own research assistant. For Smart Lookup, simply highlight a word or phrase you want to research, right-click it, and select Smart Lookup from the context menu. You can also go to Review > Smart Lookup and enter your query. It’s so “Smart” because it actually reads the context from the words that surround the one you’ve searched for to provide the most relevant results. It finds features on the Web using Microsoft’s Bing search engine without forcing you to open up an Internet browser and run a search manually.

The Researcher Tab allows you to find information for a term paper, dissertation or other research publication. You can browse web-based articles in a small pane that sits to the right of your documents, highlight the text you want to include, and insert it along with the appropriate citation style (MLA, APA, etc.) with just one click. Plus, you can create a bibliography and Word 2016 will save your citations and list them at the end of your piece.

If you’re working on a long document with headers and footers throughout, and you want a different header or footer on certain pages, Sections can help. Inserting Section breaks enables you to have multiple layouts within a single document. Sections are located on the Layout tab in the top Ribbon. There’s a section called Breaks where you can send the text to the next page, or set Sections within pages. For reports that you print, and where you want the text to be on the right or left-hand page, there’s an option to do this as well. You can also break down sections chapters, and add formattings such as columns and page borders.

Quick Parts is a great new feature in Word 2016. Use the Quick PartsGallery to create, store, and reuse pieces of content rather than re-keying it or copy and paste it from other documents. This includes AutoText document properties (such as title and author), and fields. These reusable blocks of content are called Building Blocks. The Building Blocks organizer contains quick features like cover pages, footer and header formatting and more that you can take advantage of. You can edit these and save them in Quick Parts for later use. Quick Parts is great for things like your company address, or directions to your office—copy that your u
