End users are used to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/word\">Microsoft Word desktop<\/a> program experience. They&#8217;ll be looking for an X icon in the top right part of the screen and now they will find one!<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you are new to the Online version of Microsoft Word, I&#8217;ll explain what the &#8220;old way&#8221; was like:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;old way&#8221; was frustrating for end users.<\/p>\n<p>To close a\u00a0file and get back to the library where the file lives, you had to click on the library title on the far left of the ribbon (see example below). Some reasons that end users found it frustrating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many end users who were used to Word desktop program would look for an\u00a0X icon in the top right and end up closing the browser by accident <em>(saw this happen many, many times).<\/em><\/li>\n<li>It looked more like text than a clickable link.<\/li>\n<li>This text would change depending on the\u00a0file you were looking at. Many end users found this confusing and not intuitive, as many they didn&#8217;t realize where the file lived.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itgroove.net\/oh365eh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/05\/Word-Online-Old-Back-Button.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2412 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/itgroove.net\/oh365eh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/05\/Word-Online-Old-Back-Button.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"959\" height=\"101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/oh365eh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/05\/Word-Online-Old-Back-Button.jpg 959w, https:\/\/regroove.ca\/oh365eh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/05\/Word-Online-Old-Back-Button-300x32.jpg 300w, https:\/\/regroove.ca\/oh365eh\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2017\/05\/Word-Online-Old-Back-Button-768x81.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-ca\">Microsoft<\/a> for making this change!
