In order to coincide with the release of today’s first Windows 11 preview version, Microsoft today announced a major visual update to the Office application on Windows. This visual update provides a simple and more coherent experience for the entire Office application.
This update uses smooth design principles to provide an intuitive, coherent and familiar user interface in all applications. The components involved include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access, Project, Publisher and Visio.
Any Office Insiders running Beta Channel builds 14228.20000 or higher on Windows 11 or Windows 10 can now feel the change. This visual upgrade will automatically be provided to any Office insider running the Beta channel building.
It can be easily turned off using the “coming soon” function located in the upper right corner of the menu. In Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote, just click the megaphone icon to open the upcoming pane, read more about the visual refresh changes, and use the toggle key to move between the new interface and the current interface. And apply this setting to all Office applications.
