You could previously use Word with a dark ribbon and toolbars, but your document color stayed bright white. Now, Dark Mode in Word offers a dark canvas as well! TRY THE NEW DARK MODE IN WORD >       Preview Features for Insiders   Office for iPad: See the new app The new Microsoft Office app that you love on your iPhone is now available for the iPad. We’re combining the Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps into a single, iPadOS-optimized app. Plus, you’ll see additional tools to keep you more productive than ever. TEST OUT THE NEW APP > Office for Windows: Dictation in Word and Outlook just got better We’re continuously striving to make the dictation experience better. Therefore, we’ve added the Dictation toolbar, voice commands, and auto-punctuation support. As a result, it’s easier to create and edit content with your voice. EXPLORE THE UPDATED DICTATION > Office for Windows: Share emails in Teams chats, channels Using the Share to Teams feature, you can include a copy of email messages or conversations in Teams chats and channels. You can also start a Teams chat related to a specific email message and avoid switching between Teams and Outlook. LEARN MORE ABOUT SHARING IN TEAMS > Office for iOS: Features you may have missed We’re so thankful for the time you take to learn about new Office features! Sometimes, great features get covered in our release notes but don’t make it to the blog. Therefore, we’re starting a new series covering features you may have missed. SEE THE IOS FEATURES > Office for Windows: Access illustrations, icons in Visio You can now access and use an expanded library of illustrations and icons in Visio to better illustrate your ideas visually.
