Word for the Web, the version of Microsoft Word that can be accessed on an Internet browser, introduces new formatting options that bring it closer to its standard desktop version.
According tothe official blog post, Word for the Web now has no less than 3 exciting new features: support for headers/footers, multi-column layouts, and line numbers.
What can you do with them? Well, according to Microsoft, you can:
They’re also quite easy to use.
-
Open a new or existing Word document inside Word for the Web.
-
To add headers and footers, selectInsert > Header & Footer, and then choose your preferred settings.
-
To add columns, selectLayout > Columns.
-
You can select one of the preset options (One,Two, orThree), orMore Columns, depending on your preferences.
-
To add line numbers, selectLayout > Line Numbers > Continuous.
These new capabilities are now available to all users, immediately, and you can also leave your feedback about them, and Microsoft will consider it in the next patches.
Word for the Web has seen several other updates lately, with the most recent being the abilityto create checklists. Believe it or not, the feature was not available to this version of the Word app, and similar to these features, that one also brought Word for the Web closer to the classic Word experience.
While it’s not much, considering this is just a web-based version of the vastly efficient Word platform, it still gets the job done for many tasks.
