Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! I’m Juliet Daniel, a Product Manager on the Word team, working on new layout features for Word for the web. I'm happy to announce that you can now view your document across separate pages, just as you can in Word across platforms (Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android).
And this is just the beginning! Along with the new Separate Pages view, we are also working on adding new formatting capabilities to Word for the web such as paragraph options, columns, and improved headers and footers.
Stay tuned for more feature announcements soon!
By making the Separate Pages view available, we are also unlocking a range of new layout features. Full functionalities for columns, headers and footers, and text wrapping all rely on the ability to show pages and require you to view your document in the Separate Pages view. That’s why it is now the default view in Word for the web.
However, you can easily switch back and forth between Separate Pages view and the original continuous page view. Use the one that best matches your preference or that is best suited to the content you’re working on. For example, turning off Separate Pages view can be handy when viewing documents with long tables.
Separate Pages view is currently available to users in Word for the web on Edge & Chrome browsers. Support for Firefox and Safari is coming soon.
We’re excited to hear from you and are looking forward to finding out what you think! Please share your feedback with us directly from Word by selecting Help > Feedback and including #separatepages in your comment.
