It is undeniable that Microsoft Word is one of the most powerful word processors today. Interestingly, you can now freely access Microsoft Word using your mobile devices and perform basic Microsoft Word features. The core function of the Microsoft Word for mobile is not really different from its original PC counterpart. The app allows you to create and edit documents, as well as other basic formattings such as bolding, changing font size and changing colors, and more. It also allows you to share your files quickly and easily. Aside from word files, Microsoft Word also acts as a mobile PDF reader that allows you to read PDFs or e-books while traveling, or wherever you want.

How does Microsoft Word work?

If you have been using Microsoft Word on your PC then you should know how exactly the mobile version works. The mobile app captures all the basic functions of PC’s Microsoft Word. It is wonderfully optimized for mobile devices and it comes with a simple and user-friendly interface that everyone can easily navigate and explore. Simply download the Microsoft Word app either from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store to start. Once downloaded, you will be given the option to sign in using your existing Microsoft account (you can also create a new one) or proceed immediately to the word editor. To create a new document, simply tap the plus icon on the upper right corner of the screen.

Here, you can select either a blank document or use any of the pre-made word templates. You can switch from Mobile View to Print Layout, and vice versa in no time. Both views are useful and serve different types of use cases. The Mobile view lays your document to make use of the smaller screens of your phones and give you the best reading experience while Print Layout View is pretty much self-explanatory. The Microsoft Word for mobile features all the basic formating from font sizes to font colors. It also features bulleting, numbering, paragraph formatting, and font styling. You can share your work as a document or as a PDF. With the OneDrive feature, you can save your work and access it across other devices you are signed in.
