• New ways to find what you need. Microsoft Word has over 4,000 tools and features.

If it can’t, it will give you a list of sources where you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.
• Smart Lookup. Imagine having a tool that gives you instant context on something you aren’t all too familiar with in your document. Well, you get it with Word 2016. In contrast to the Tell Me feature, which keeps your queries inside the app, this amazing new tool browses the Internet for you to find definitions, images and even articles on highlighted words and phrases within your text.
