The Backstage view in Microsoft Word is the screen that appears when clicking the “File” tab, acting as a central hub for file-level management tasks rather than content editing. It allows users to save, open, print, share, export, and inspect document properties or set application options.
Some of the Key Features of Backstage View:
- File Management: Contains commands like Save, Save As, Open, and Close.
- Info: Displays file properties, version history, and options to protect, inspect, or manage document versions.
- New/Open: Enables creation of new documents (using templates) and opening existing files, including recent ones.
- Print: Offers a print preview, printer settings, and configuration for orientation or duplex printing.
- Export/Share: Allows converting files to PDF/XPS or sharing through cloud services.
- Account/Options: Provides access to user account information, themes, and detailed application settings.
