Read documents in Word
Common reading tools are built in right into Word: Page through a document, add comments, define and translate words, and copy or highlight text, as well as other convenient reading tools.
If you're reading a document, not writing or major editing, click or tap View > Read Mode to hide the writing tools and menus and to leave more room for the pages themselves. Read Mode automatically fits the page layout to your device, using columns and larger font sizes, both of which you can adjust.
To get out of Read Mode, click or tap View > Edit Document.
In addition to the reading controls you use regularly, you can zoom in and out on images and other objects, expand or collapse sections, or watch embedded videos. Adjust columns, page color, and layout. Open the Navigation Pane to quickly move around in the document.
