FEATURES
Listen to the document with the current passage highlighted to check how the text sounds and spot awkward wording. This also lets you absorb the material by listening.
Adjust column width, spacing, and page color in Learning Tools. This helps you find a comfortable text display for carefully reading a long document.
Translate selected words and passages with Microsoft Translator to understand foreign-language text. Accessing the translation service requires internet connectivity.
Insert SVG images into a document and change their appearance without losing sharpness when scaling. Vector icons are useful for instructions and visual explanations.
Build a table of contents from the document's headings and update it after rearranging sections. This makes long reports, instructions, and academic papers easier to navigate.
Place lists, calculations and comparisons in tables. Add rows and columns as you work to maintain a clear structure within the text.
Find words and phrases, then replace individual matches or all of them at once. This simplifies updating names and terms in a multipage document.
Track text additions and deletions, review other authors' changes and accept or reject revisions. This mode is useful when reviewing a contract or report.
