Turn Word Documents Into Dynamic Websites


Microsoft has announced a brand new feature that allows users to easily transform any Word Doc into an interactive and easy-to-share SWAY Web Pages that look great on any device - https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/transform-your-word-document-into-a-sway-web-page-65912b2d-8b81-41e1-ac52-c20a65ce8ecf 

SWAY Web Pages - https://sway.office.com/ - is an Microsoft Office app that makes it easy to create and share interactive reports, personal stories, presentations, and more.

This process is pretty awesome and extremely easy to do and I highly recommend educators try it out with their learners a.s.a.p!

Perhaps they could use this for...

  • their currently traditional resumes. They could take their Word Doc resume and with a few button clicks they could have a dynamic on-line portfolio that they can then add their photos and videos.
  • the traditional 5 paragraph essays and create multi-media featured projects and presentations that will impress any HE, FE, ACL learning providers.

The SWAY Web Pages that users create from their Microsoft account can be shared with anyone. Whoever users send the link to can view the page.

Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/embed/crsiHaYZUuA to find out more.

"Note: In Word Online, SWAY Web Pages can't be created from your personal Microsoft account, only from your work and/or school accounts."
If you give SWAY Web Pages a try or have already used SWAY Web Pages, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments. 

Thank you.
