Writing a research paper using Microsoft Word may not be such a drag anymore with this new development. According to a new report, the company found a way to help students complete their research paper requirements with a little tweaking of the Word software. 

The updated Microsoft Word software now comes with a new "Researcher" feature. It is easy to see what it is designed to do, by what this feature is called, as reported by the Verge.

With this feature, access to Internet content is made easier. Researcher utilizes Microsoft's Bing Knowledge Graph to get information from the Internet and then pull this straight towards Word. Microsoft already integrated several trusted sources and reference materials that a researcher can access without leaving Word. 

If a source material is added, this feature can even create the citation in the bibliography. This is now available to any student already using Office 365. Those who only use the mobile variants of Office may not have it yet, but Microsoft already promised to bring forth this feature to them in the very near future. 

Apart from "Researcher," Microsoft Word now has a new Word Editor feature. While its current grammar and spell check features are already such a big help for anyone writing research papers, the new Editor is bound to make more people excited. This new feature offers a more advanced proofing service, almost guaranteeing you a clean and error-free paper, grammar and spelling wise.

This new feature can tell you if a word has been used too frequently already, as reported by Mashable. The new feature can even tell you what better words or phrases to use. If you have been used to seeing red and blue squiggly lines indicating grammar and spelling errors, this new writing style suggestions will com in the form of gold dotted line! Now that is making research and writing a bit more interesting to do.
