I work with multiple views in Word. Can Word 2024 now save colour background fills and images to all page view such as Draft and Outline views?

I’m going to my desktop right now to try these new features out. Even though I am an insider I didn’t notice all of these changes.

Appreciate your straight to the point and easy to follow style.

That Paste Text Only Shortcut looks like it wil be handy for me
I have Office 365 I assume I will get the update in due course

Will be nice to see a custom color option for highlighting text

I love loop and use it daily. When I open loop a message now appears saying that if I want to continue using loop I'll need to change my licence or something in a few months. I'm on my work account (education). Does that mean loop won't be freely available on education accounts? Thanks.

How is Keep Lines Together. / Keep with Next different to what has been in Word since v1.0?

[gennettacampbell]

Help please.
I have the Microsoft 365 app but in the Word document. The read out loud feature is no longer there. Did they remove it?

I like the new function for pasting unformatted text but will the Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut still work for pasting styles? I've used this shortcut for years i.e. ctrl+Shift+c to copy a style and ctrl+shift+v to apply that style to text/objects in place of the brush tool. It's so quick and easy to use. Will it still have this functionality?

[Digmen]

one area where I feel Word needs a complete re fresh is Styles and Templates
The code and options seem very archaic

Eg to add a template you need to go to Options / Addins/ Manage COM add-ins
Imho option Templates should be available from the Ribbon
And What the heck does Com Add-ins mean?

Will there be any improvements to the read aloud feature in word for 2024?
