1. Prepare the Document for Sharing
Before you start sharing your document, make sure it is saved. This is the first step to ensure all changes are retained. Once your document is saved, go to the top menu bar and look for the sharing settings. Many features are located right below the print settings.
2. Set Up Sharing for Individuals
To share your document with others, you need to use the Microsoft Cloud. This requires a OneDrive storage which you can set up. Choose the option "Share with people." Word will guide you through the sharing process, and upon completion of the saving process, you will receive a link to the shared files.
3. Send Document via Email
Another simple way to share your document is by sending it via email. Click on the email icon in the top menu bar. Here you can choose whether to send the file as an attachment, as a PDF, or even as another file type. Documents in PDF format are usually easier to send since the recipient cannot edit them, thus helping to protect the content.
4. Online Presentation of the Document
If you want to present your document, you can do so through a web browser. You just need to share the document for online presentation. The recipient will receive a link to view the document directly in the browser. This is particularly useful for presentations as it does not require any installation or special software. Anyone with the link can view the document.
5. Publish Documents on a Blog
Do you have your own blog, for example on WordPress or Blogger? Then you can publish your Word documents directly from Word as blog posts. To do this, you need to set up an account and utilize the appropriate sharing options from Microsoft Word.
