Share your document
To share a file from within Word:
-
-
Select Share
on the ribbon.
Or, select File > Share.
Note: If your file is not already saved to OneDrive, you'll be prompted to upload your file to OneDrive to share it.
-
Select who you want to share with from the drop-down, or enter a name or email address.
-
Add a message (optional) and select Send.
-
Co-edit a document
After you share your document, you can work on that file at the same time with others.
-
-
For the best experience, work together in Word for the web and see real-time changes.
-
Under Share, you will see the names of who else is also editing the file.
-
Colored flags show you exactly where each person is working in the document.
-
Opening a shared document
When someone shares a Word document with you, the email you receive includes a link that opens the document in your web browser: in Word for the web. Select Edit Document > Edit in Browser.
From here, if you'd rather work in your Word app, switch from Editing to Open in Desktop App, near the top of the window.
