Microsoft Office 2013 application package has introduced some new features in MS Word like ‘Resume’, ‘Read-mode’, ‘Online-videos’ etc. Among these, the Live Preview that displays the live preview of modifications is comparatively old, but is one of the most useful feature today.

MS Word has made editing documents easier, which further means that reviewing the text and documents also became quite easy. Real-time preview of modifications becomes quite handy while reviewing the documents and when tracking different versions of a document.

This feature enables the users to simultaneously work on a different version of the same document and compare the modifications made in real time. The document that is under the concern of an editor actually has real-time version available instantaneously and you are free to choose the modified or the most suited version of the document, while tracking changes and
previewing modifications in real time.

While exploring different functionalities of MS Word 2013, sometimes you may experience that the real-time preview of modifications is no more available. This issue could have been raised due to your accidental or deliberate actions in MS Words’ settings. If this is the issue, you will have to follow the below described procedure to re-enable the real-time preview feature again in your instance of MS Word 2013.
