If you are using Offline 2021 or Office 365, you can now enable the app’s Windows 11 style user interface. For those who don’t know, Microsoft announced the new visual update of Office early this year, but now it’s being distributed to users.
The new visual update is meant for Windows 11 users, but it also elevates the experience in Windows 10 as well. That means, if you are a Windows 10 user, you can also access the new look of the Microsoft Office suite.
Another thing to note here is that the UI/UX hasn’t changed significantly. It just adds a new skin on top of the existing Microsoft Office 2021 & Office 365’s interface. The new skin fits well with the Windows 11 operating system, providing a consistent UX across Microsoft devices.
The new design of Microsoft Office 2021 has rounded corners that you see on every Windows 11 window. Also, the new skin alters the appearance of all other office programs like Powerpoint, Word, Outlook, and Excel.
