Microsoft Editor runs in Word for Microsoft 365 to analyze your document and offer suggestions for spelling, grammar, and stylistic issues, like making sentences more concise, choosing simpler words, or writing with more formality.
To use Editor, on the Home tab choose Editor.
Reviewing suggestions
To focus on the issues you care most about, choose a correction or refinement type, like Grammar or Clarity. Then, use the arrows near the top of the pane to step through each of that type of issue.
Choose a suggestion to incorporate it into your document. If you don't like the suggestion, choose Ignore Once. Or, if you never want this type of suggestion, choose Don't check for this issue.
Note: If you change your mind about an issue you ignored, close and reopen the document, and go back to Editor. Editor will find the issue again.
Tailor what Editor checks for
By default, Editor checks for several categories of issues, and the suggestions may or may not suit your writing style. To finely tune Editor for suggestions you want, do the following:
- In the Editor pane, choose Settings.
- In the Word Options dialog box, next to Grammar & Refinements, choose Settings.
Scroll through the list of options. Select issues you want Editor to check, and clear the issues you want Editor to ignore.
Note: Choosing Reset All returns to the default settings.
- Choose OK.
Tip: Editor is designed to empower you to bring out the best in your writing. We are continually making updates to its suggestions and experimenting to learn which suggestions are most welcome. If you have feedback for us, choose Help Improve Office? at the top of the Word window to open the Feedback pane.
