The smart designer layout feature of Microsoft Office, which we have known in PowerPoint for a while, was also promised for Word. It’s time. Now you can also improve Word formatting thanks to artificial intelligence. This functionality is not yet available in the desktop version, but you can already use this design aid in the online version of Word.
It’s not uncommon for Designer to rank first in the browser version of the word processor. New Microsoft Office features are often first introduced in the cloud before they appear in the desktop app for Windows or macOS.
Open any document in Word Online and click tab Start on the right side of the button designer. Similar to PowerPoint, you will see some templates in the side pane. However, there are important differences from PowerPoint Designer. For example, Word Assistant does not show live preview thumbnails. The templates shown are therefore not based on the document you are working on.

By clicking such a thumbnail, Word formats the document like a template. The new design applies to the entire document. Therefore, you cannot apply the Designer’s suggestion to a text or a specific section.
consistent formatting
In addition, the Designer shows a number of formatting improvements to make the document style more stable. Click on the sidebar at the top view x formatting solutions and the document shows with diamond icons where the changes were applied.
Click on such a diamond to see the details. This way you can do the formatting correction. To apply or Undo. Choice Show content adds the first words of the modified paragraph to the dialog. At the bottom of the dialog you will see arrows to switch between formatting fixes.
Check
Of course you can also use buttons. accept all and reject all to use. Of course, the best results will be achieved if you have applied a style format with headings, subheadings, and regular text. It’s a good idea to check for formatting fixes because they aren’t always perfect. We expect it to improve even more in the coming months.
We also hope that the number of available templates will be expanded. There are about a dozen suggestions for each document. If you are not satisfied, use Ctrl+Z (cmd+Z under macOS) to revert to the original content.
