Insights

The new feature Insight allows to find out more information on a given topic without opening a new browser tab. In order to access this feature, right-click on a word or a group of words, and then select Insighs from the menu or from under the Review Tab on the ribbon. Office Online uses Bing as a research engine and uses a variety of online sources to bring you the information you required. On the left side of the screen, you have the page you are working on and on the right side, you have all the information retrieved by the Insights feature. Insight is available only in the Editing View.

The original PDF document is left intact.
