New Features
New co-authoring capabilities
Work on Word files together with teammates in real time from different locations. It's even compatible with Office for Windows and you can keep track of your team with the Presence Everywhere feature that gives you real-time status updates on who is working on what.
Office Web Apps
Use Microsoft Office Web Apps for a simple way to access and share Office documents from any computer with an Internet connection. Office Web Apps are available to both home and business users (across platforms) and allow documents to be stored via your Windows Live ID account or on Microsoft SharePoint Technologies.
New template gallery
Access thousands of Word themes and templates to create professional-looking documents and customise and preview any theme before you select it.
New user interface
Use the new dynamic ribbon interface that puts the most commonly used features within easy access for Word. The ribbon delivers a modern and fluid experience and helps provide a consistent user experience across Windows and Mac. The new design also continues to use the classic Mac menu and standard toolbar thereby giving you the best of both worlds.
New photo editing capabilities
Edit images from within Word documents. Recolor photos and images, apply filters and corrections, and even remove extraneous background imagery, right from the application itself.
Word full-screen view
Full-Screen View gives you a limited user-interface and blocks interruptions from email and instant messages, helping you to keep your focus on your content.
