Over the months, Microsoft has constantly changed the design of its flagship applications to harmonize them with that of Windows 11.
This new flagship effect of the operating system will soon be fully compatible with Word 2021. But what about other software in the Office suite?
Mica is coming to Word 2021
Office 2021 will get up to date. In the coming months, Microsoft will roll out the big Windows 11 22H2 update. This update This shouldn’t fundamentally change the operating system experience, but bring a few new features, including the return of drag-and-drop for the taskbar and interface changes. In the meantime, Microsoft is starting to lay the groundwork for its office suite.
Reddit user Win11Oberserver has indeed noticed that the Redmond firm has discreetly updated Word 2021 to introduce the Mica effect. As a reminder, this flagship feature of Windows 11 is a new opaque and dynamic material that subtly tints the background of software windows with the color of the desktop theme and wallpaper. Its deployment on Office 2021 will be visibly progressive, since for the moment, only Word 2021 is compatible with Mica, and only with a handful of users. As the design change is still in testing, it is most likely to be rolled out widely with Windows 11 22H2.

- Graphical redesign of the successful interface
- Improved Snap
- Effective anchor groups
To be completely honest, Windows 11 seems to us to be a good evolution of Windows 10. Beyond the very marketing aspect linked to the surprise effect (Windows 10 was presented as the last of the last, remember) and to the mainly graphical redesign of the interface, the update brings a bit of clarity and modernity that are welcome after six years spent with an OS designed to reconcile Microsoft and its audience. We also like the discreet details that make it more functional, such as the improved snap and anchor groups, or even the refined management of virtual desktops. Finally, we are really convinced by the redesign of the Microsoft Store. By agreeing to return to the exclusivity reserved for UWPs, Microsoft is effectively hitting where it is not expected and finally compels itself to catch up on Apple and Google.
