Claude for Word Arrives in Beta With Tracked-Change Edits
What shipped
Claude for Word is now in beta for Team and Enterprise plans, letting users draft, edit, and revise documents from a sidebar while Claude preserves formatting and surfaces edits as tracked changes.
Smarter Work
Before: you copy text out of Word, paste it into Claude, copy the result back, and manually reformat everything. After: you stay in Word, issue instructions from the sidebar, and edits appear as tracked changes you can accept or reject like any other reviewer.
How a team used this
Dani is a senior analyst at a consulting firm. Her standard move: draft a client memo in Word, paste sections into Claude for rewrites, manually reformat the output, repeat six times, lose track of which version is current. With Claude for Word in beta, she opens the sidebar, types 'make the recommendations section more direct and cut 20%,' and watches the edits land as tracked changes. She accepts three, tweaks one, rejects a fifth. The formatting never broke. The document never left Word. Total time saved on a typical memo: about 25 minutes of copy-paste purgatory.
