Detailed overview of all new features of Word 2021 for Mac

Not only Mac users who already know Word will appreciate the new features of the 2021 version, but also beginners will benefit from the versatile possibilities offered by the professional, efficient creation and reading of texts with this Office program. Especially the features for focused editing as well as the integrated tools for translating also support professionals to concentrate even better without having to open another application, everything is possible Word-internally. This also includes the aforementioned accessible document authoring as well as the inclusion of complex mathematical formulas through LaTeX support. The most important features of Word 2021 for Mac in detail:

Even better clarity through the choice of different view options

Users who are already familiar with Word for Mac will immediately recognize the visual innovations offered by the new Word 2021 for Mac: The ribbon user interface already familiar in Word for Mac 2016 has been combined here with the modern, Windows-typical tile look. What's new here is the more prominent placement of the most frequently used elements and functions, making them even easier to find.

Word 2021 for Mac also allows the continued use of the normal ribbon look, so that the interface can also be redesigned. And especially for the use of Word on devices with touch displays, such as tablets and smartphones, the touch sensitivity has been enhanced for pen input.

In addition, the new themes White, Dark Gray and Black are available in Word 2021 for Mac; these more discreet backgrounds also support concentrated writing and reading of texts. Black offers the strongest contrast.

Integrated learning tools enable more efficient text work

Professional users will also appreciate the integrated learning tools in Word 2021 for Mac . Originally intended for students to support faster text comprehension, they also help users who regularly use Word in the office. The learning tools can be used, for example, to adjust the column width and text spacing, as well as the colors, and the clearer display of the text is easier on the eyes.

With the "Line focus" tool, the reading area can be limited to one, three or five lines as desired, and if you want to have a text read aloud to you, the passages you are currently reading are simultaneously highlighted visually. This makes it easy to follow what you hear in the text, your concentration is improved and you are also less distracted.

Also the "focus mode" already known from older Word versions fulfills a similar task by hiding all toolbars, so that the display of the document becomes clearer.

The Cue Audio function also supports you with audio feedback when activated. This accompanies you as you write with various sound effects, providing audible cues if you change certain options, but also as confirmation of an action you have performed: for example, when deleting or inserting content.

When editing large text documents, searching for individual passages or specific sections can quickly become confusing. In Word 2021 for Mac, in addition to the usual vertical view of a Word document, in which all pages are scrolled through from top to bottom, the new "Page by Page" view is available, allowing you to flip through the Word document like a book. And for texts that are of average length but still have a large number of pages, the "Thumbnails" function, which is also new, provides quick orientation: When activated, the pages are displayed small in an overview so that you can find the places you are looking for more easily.

Optimized accessibility through easier support for error correction

In Word 2021 for Mac , in addition to the already included and improved features, new tools are also available to optimize texts so that they are also suitable for users with limited reading and comprehension abilities. The activated supportive error correction suggests improvements by clicking on the menu item "Check", which you can accept immediately with one click. Integrated are in addition internationally valid standards back, which were introduced for such readers with handicaps for the easier text understanding.

Integrated translation function with the Translator

Whereas Word users previously had to leave the Word program when writing or reading foreign words or an entire text passage in another language and call up a website via the browser in order to obtain the translation there, this is now no longer necessary in Word 2021 for Mac: All you have to do is select the text in question with the cursor and activate the integrated translation function with automatic language recognition. The Microsoft Translator Word 2021 for Mac contains over 60 languages, 11 languages can be translated.

Freehand tool for spontaneously drawing diagrams

What is possible on touchpads or smartphones is now also available in Word 2021 for Mac - with the new "Freehand Drawing" tool. To use the freehand tool, users do not need a pen or touch interface, they can also use it with the computer mouse to spontaneously mark text or create sketches and formulas, which can then also be further edited, moved or copied.

For the freehand tool in Word 2021 for Mac , Microsoft provides several digital pens at once, including a pencil for drawing, a pen for writing, and a highlighter for highlighting. The tools are available in different pen thicknesses as well as 16 solid colors and 8 effects such as rainbow, galaxy, lava, ocean, gold, silver and others to choose from.

Inserting and editing scalable vector graphics

Word 2021 for Mac provides an extensive library of free-to-use icons, pictograms, symbols, etc., including 3D images, for illustrating presentations and worksheets. The scalable vector graphics, also called SVG files (Scalable Vector Graphics), are particularly interesting because they can be resized, rotated 360°, or even colored without loss of image quality.

Using LaTeX in Word 2021 for Mac to create complex formulas

Word's built-in formula editor is a versatile tool, but it reaches its limits when it comes to rendering the more complex formulas often found in scientific texts. The new Word 2021 for Mac now also supports LaTeX, the international standard in the creation of professional extensive formulas, which can be converted with it.
