With Word Online you use your web browser to create, view, and edit the personal documents that you store on OneDrive or Dropbox. If your organization or college has an Office 365 plan or SharePoint site, start using Word Online by creating or storing documents in libraries on your site.

    

Note:  If you’re using Word Web App with SharePoint 2010, see Introduction to Word Web App and Word Web App at a glance.

 

Save changes

   

Word saves your changes automatically. Look on the status bar at the bottom left corner of Word Online. It will either show Saved or Saving.

Share documents online

Because your document is online, you can share it by sending a link instead of an email attachment. People can read it in their web browser or mobile device.

Click File > Share > Share with People.
