Let’s begin by adding Heading 1. Here, you can add any text you would like as the heading of the section, plus an image to fit. We’ve made our Sway about ocean currents:

Now, let’s start adding text. Select the +, then choose Text to add your body text. You can create bold text by using the Emphasize function, and italic text using the Accent function.

Next, let’s add a slideshow of photos. To do so, select +, then Group. Choose the type of slideshow type you would like to use, then select Add Content to load photos, text, videos, or anything else you may want to add to your story.

Once you’ve inserted your content, you can design your Sway to make it truly yours.

Let’s begin by selecting the Design tab in the ribbon. You should now see your Sway in the default design setup. Select the Styles option in the ribbon.

The Styles section allows you to customize the design of the Sway and change its scrolling orientation from Vertical, Horizontal, or Slides view. You can also use the Remix! option for a surprise design.

Microsoft Word for the web’s Transform feature automatically converts your document into a Sway. To transform your work in Word for the web to a Sway creation, go to File > Transform, choose the design, and then behold your awesome new Sway page.
