Video provides a powerful way to help you prove your point. When you click Online Video, you can paste in the embed code for the video you want to add. You can also type a keyword to search online for the video that best fits your document.

To make your document look professionally produced, Word provides header, footer, cover page, and text box designs that complement each other. For example, you can add a matching cover page, header, and sidebar. Click Insert and then choose the elements you want from the different galleries.

Themes and styles also help keep your document coordinated. When you click Design and choose a new Theme, the pictures, charts, and SmartArt graphics change to match your new theme. When you apply styles, your headings change to

match the new theme.

Save time in Word

with new buttons that

them. To change the way
a picture fits in your document

, click it and a button for layout options appears next to it. When you work on a table, click where you want to add a row or a column, and then click the plus sign.

Reading is easier, too, in the new Reading view. You can collapse parts of the document and focus on the text you want. If you need to stop reading before you reach the end, Word remembers where you left off - even on another device.

Earlier this year, Sayed and I released Web Developer Checklist to help web developer adhere to best practices. Checklists like these can be really helpful to make sure we don’t forget anything before releasing new or updated websites.

imageNow we’re introducing Web Developer Checklist as a Chrome extension that can automate a big portion of the checklist. The extension let’s you run checks for various best practices on any website - including your own running from localhost.

It performs a series of checks by analyzing the DOM as well as integrating with 3rd-party services like Google PageSpeed.

Next steps

This first version of the Web Developer Checklist Chrome extension does a series of really valuable checks. The next releases will have even more.

Specifically, we’re looking at adding:

  • HTML validation
  • CSS validation
  • Accessibility validation
  • JSHint
  • CssLint
  • Guidance for each item

We think these checks would be hugely beneficial. If you have ideas for other checks that can be automated, please let us know in the comments below.

Open source

The Web Developer Checklist Chrome extension is open source and hosted on our GitHub org. As always, pull requests are more than welcome.
