Setting General Options

You can customize the performance of many Word features including its editing, saving, spelling, viewing, printing and security procedures. Each person uses Word in a different way. Word Options allows you to change general options to personalize what appears in the Word window. You can set user interface options to show the Mini Toolbar when working with a selection, enable live preview to show option changes, show content as you move objects instead of a bounding box (New!), and specify a ScreenTip style. In addition to signing in to Word with a Microsoft account, you can also personalize Word with your user name and initials, which get used when you track changes in a document.
