Writing and style guidelines

As you design your Office Add-ins, consider the voice you use in your UI text and elements. Strive to match the voice and tone of the Office UI, which is conversational, engaging, and accessible to users.

  • Use a natural style. Write the way you speak. Avoid jargon and overly technical words and phrases. Use terms that are familiar to your users.
  • Use simple, direct language. Use short words and sentences, and active voice in your text.
  • Be consistent. Use the same words for the same concepts throughout.
  • Engage the user. Address the user as "you". Avoid using third person. Use imperatives for user tasks.
  • Be helpful and empathetic. Make your text positive, polite, supportive, and encouraging. Emphasize what users can accomplish ― not what they can't.
  • Know your customers. Be mindful of cultural considerations and globalization when you use idioms or colloquialisms.
