This tool is, as other tools like this, always a work in progress so you can expect updates and improvements.

Editor

Word 2016 is smart enough to notice things like redundancy and unclear writing styles. It will help you fix anything that might make your written work less than perfect.

Smart Lookup

The old dictionary has been removed from the Office suite. It has been replaced it with a more intelligent search window that is powered by Bing, Microsoft's search-engine partner.

Tell Me Feature

The Tell Me tool is a firm favorite in all the apps of Office 2016 and its usefulness in Word 2016 is unending.

The Tell me tool will present you with the feature you asked for. Simply click it and voila. The action has been performed. No extra clicks required.

Real-Time Typing

If you choose to save your documents in OneDrive, it will continue to save in real-time, which means you can log in to Word 2016 from any other device and pick up right where you left off. You are no longer bound to your location to finish a document or need to coordinate multiple saved versions of the same document. Word 2016 works where you are, not the other way around.
