Sharing Documents in Word

Word makes sharing and working on documents easy with OneDrive. Before, people sent files as email attachments. This created many versions of the same file, making it hard to organize.

Now, you can share a document directly from Word. Others can access and edit the same file. This removes the need to track multiple versions.

To share a document, save it to OneDrive first.

Steps to Share a Document:

  1. Click the File tab to open Backstage view.

  2. Click Share to open the Share pane.

This pane will change depending on which sharing method you select. You'll be able to choose various options to control how you share your presentation.


From here, you'll be able to invite others to view or edit a document. We recommend using this option because it gives you the greatest level of control and privacy when sharing a document.


From here, you can share your document directly through Microsoft Outlook.


From here, you can share your document online as a live presentation. Word will generate a link that others can open in their web browser.
