About Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is the world's most widely used word processing application, available as part of Microsoft 365 subscriptions and as a one-time purchase via Microsoft 365 Personal or Family plans. It supports rich text formatting, track changes and co-authoring, mail merge, templates, and accessibility checking. In 2026, Microsoft began bundling Copilot Chat AI into Microsoft 365 plans, bringing draft generation, summarization, and editing suggestions directly into Word. Commercial pricing increases took effect July 1, 2026.
