Live Preview helps you see the change in your document, spreadsheet, or presentation even before applying it. If it is disabled in Office apps, you can follow this guide to enable or disable Live Preview in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint using the in-built Settings, Local Group Policy Editor, and Registry Editor.
When Microsoft launched Office 2007, it added a new feature called Live Preview. It allows you to hover over different formatting options in your documents to see how they will look. If you’re moving from an older version of Office, you might find this feature disorientating and annoying. Luckily it’s easy to disable.
Note: This feature also works with all apps in the Microsoft 365 Office suite. Turning it off works the same way as previous versions.
