Follow-up with Word suggestions
Intelligence in Word now recognizes follow-ups as you type them. Text highlighted in blue means there is a suggestion for you.
: This feature is currently only available in English.
Select the highlighted text and choose to Mark for Follow-up or mark Ignore.
Word will even suggest links for you. Select the blue highlight to see a list of recent docs. Or select Show more results to open the Search pane and find what you want to link to.
: The blue highlighting is only temporary while you have a document open. As soon as you close it, the documents formatting will go back to the way you had it formatted.
