Microsoft Announces a Welcome Microsoft Editor Update Dec 23, 2020 19:40 GMT
Microsoft Editor improvements
Microsoft Editor is Redmond’s big bet against the growth of solutions like Grammarly, and in the last months, the company has tried to improve it even further as part of the Office productivity suite.
And this week, the software giant is announcing a new series of refinements for Microsoft Editor, this time exclusive to Microsoft Word.
First and foremost, Microsoft is making it easier to view spelling and grammar suggestions, as the whole thing is now possible with just one click.
“The ability to view spelling, grammar and other intelligent suggestions with one click- either left or right-click any underlined word. In addition, you can also select an underline word and then press Shift+F10 or Alt+Down to display Editor suggestions,” the company explains.

Microsoft Editor for Windows has a simplified new look.

Microsoft Editor is a built-in assistant that helps you correct grammar and spelling in your writing. It s available within Microsoft Word, Outlook, and on some of Microsoft s services on the web. Now, Microsoft is testing a new way to interact with Editor on Word for Windows. The new look should be easier to use and cleaner than before.
The new look and features are available to Current Channel (Preview) users running version 2010 (Build 13328.20000) or later.
