Know where to tap


To help you begin, let's get to know the buttons at the top.

This tour introduces you to most of the buttons. They might be slightly different on your version
of Android. Note that new features are constantly being released. Make sure you have all the
latest updates in order to have all available features.

Easier reading on your phone


Switching to Mobile View makes it easier to read and edit on small screens.
Try it:

1. Tap Mobile View.


2. Notice that the layout flows to fit your phone’s screen.

Keep in mind, if you want to switch back, you can just tap Print Layout.

Save your way


Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Your document automatically saves as you work so you don’t
have to. If you ever want to turn Autosave off, it’s easy.
How it works:
1. Go to the File menu
2. Pick Save and turn Autosave off.

You can always go back to the File Menu for more document actions like Print and Share.

Add shapes
Insert a shape and add a color and text.
Try it:

1. Tap the pencil to open the command ribbon.


2. Tap Insert > Shapes and add a circle.
3. Let’s change its color. Tap the circle, tap on the pencil and then select Shape > Fill and
select a different color.

4. For more options, tap Shape Styles and pick a look you like.

Work together
With your document stored online, your group can work on it together at the same time.
How it works:
1. Save your document in an online location, like OneDrive.

2. Tap Share.
3. Invite people, or send a link so they can edit with you.

Smart Lookup
Smart Lookup brings research from Bing directly into Word.
Try it:
1. Select the word “Hippos” in the following sentence: Hippos live in swamps
2. Tap Smart Lookup and see info about hippos!

Comments
Commenting on a document is a great way to quickly add your feedback.
Try it:

1. Tap somewhere in this paragraph, and then open the ribbon


2. Choose Review > New Comment, and type something.
3. Notice that your comment includes a Reply button.
Use it to respond to a comment.
Hint: When you’ve taken care of feedback, get the comment out of your way without losing it by
tapping Done.
