Microsoft brings Office visual update to all users

Users who have recently used Microsoft Office should have noticed that the software interface has changed. Microsoft said this is a simplified visual update brought by the design team.

After the update, the top of the Microsoft Office suite displays the file name and the automatic or manual save button, followed by the tabs and the corresponding options in each tab.

And most of the options have been updated with rounded corners. These updates are actually new designs that Microsoft used to accompany the Windows 11 system.

Of course, whether you use Windows 11 or Windows 10, you will get the update, but Windows 10 may get the update a little later.

In terms of version support, offline versions such as Microsoft 365 / Microsoft Office 2021 can be updated, and now Microsoft is gradually pushing it to users. Windows 10 users still need to wait for the time being.
