Immersive reader view is a unique reading and listening experience with several tools and tricks to help you access a document's contents with ease. Options such as Column Width and Read Aloud make it simple (and dare we say a bit fun) to read documents in Word.

To enable immersive reader view, which is shown in Figure 4-8, click the View tab on the ribbon and then click the Immersive Reader icon.

FIGURE 4-8: Immersive reader view with several of its tools activated.

The Immersive Reader tab on the ribbon has the following tools:

 Column Width: Select the column width. Figure 4-8 displays a Moderate column width.

 Page Color: Select from a range of page background colors. Orchid was selected for Figure 4-8.

 Text Spacing: Increase the text's legibility by adding extra space between the characters and using a clean font. Enable Text Spacing is shown in Figure 4-8.

 Syllables: Display break points in words to indicate syllables, as shown in Figure 4-8.

 Read Aloud: Click to have Word read the text aloud and open the Read Aloud playback controls, shown in Figure 4-8. Click the gear icon to select a different playback speed and use a different voice. The word being read is highlighted as the reading progresses so that you can follow along visually.

 Close Immersive Reader: Exit immersive reader view and return to the previous view you were using.

Remember that immersive reader view is meant to be a help, not a hindrance. If some of its options or tools disrupt your reading experience, you aren’t obliged to use them.
