Hi, thanks for the great idea.

The Word for Web product has a new experience for how to show other people who are also editing the document in real-time. As part of this new design experience we no longer say “If’s just you here now.”

The new design includes profile pictures (if available,) makes it clear which color applies to which person, and also indicates when people are inactive (not moving their cursor for 15 mins.)

Office Online is free for anyone. With Office Online you can view, edit, and share Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote files on your devices using a web browser, so you can work anywhere.

For students, get started by going to our Office in Education page: https://products.office.com/en-us/student/office-in-education

For everyone, get started by going to our main product page: https://products.office.com/en/office-online/

To edit a document without downloading it, click Edit Document > Edit in Word Online. This will open the document in the online editor, allowing you to make changes from the web right in your browser.
