Collaborate for free with an online version of Microsoft Word. Save documents in OneDrive. Share them with others and work together at the same time. Word worked decently for a while (see my lackluster review above), but suddenly it started demanding that I buy Office 365 or else be forever stuck in Read Only mode. No way around it. Nothing, just the new rule. And since MS seems to not allow humans to staff it's help pages, Word Online now officially worthless.
Store photos and docs online. Access them from any PC, Mac or phone. Create and work together on Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents. When adding names for the first time, Word will ask permission to access your Contacts. To allow your users to edit the file, click the Can Edit check box. Add any comments in the comments field and click Share. There is a setting in word desktop version to show bookmarks as below: File=Options=Advanced=Show bookmarks. But I couldn't find a similar setting in word in office online version (office.com), is there a way to see bookmarks in word online? I've posted this same question on stackoverflow as well.

More information
The Previewer feature in Outlook uses the Protected View feature (also known as a sandbox). This feature was introduced in Microsoft Office 2010. In Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012, the Protected View feature has been improved in conjunction with the AppContainer feature. This provides stronger process isolation, and it also blocks network access from the sandbox.
For more information about the Protected View feature, see Overview of security in Office 2013.
