Welcome
Welcome to the
Microsoft Writing Style Guide,
your guide to writing style and terminology for all
communication—whether an app, a website, or a white paper. If you write about computer
technology, this guide is for you.
Today, lots of people are called upon to write about technology. We need a simple,
straightforward style guide that everyone can use, regardless of their role. And it needs to reflect
Microsoft's modern approach to voice and style: warm and relaxed, crisp and clear, and ready to
lend a hand.
Here's what you will find in the
Microsoft Writing Style Guide:

Microsoft's brand voice: Above all,
simple and human
Article
•
10/18/2022
There’s
what
we say, our message. And there’s
how
we say it, our voice.
The Microsoft voice is how we talk to people. It’s the interplay of personality, substance,
tone, and style.
Though our voice is constant regardless of who we’re talking to or what we’re saying, we
adapt our tone—from serious to empathetic to lighthearted—to fit the context and the
customer's state of mind.
Our voice hinges on crisp simplicity. Bigger ideas and fewer words. Less head, more
heart.
Our voice is:
Warm and relaxed
—We’re natural. Less formal, more grounded in real, everyday
conversations. Occasionally, we’re fun. (We know when to celebrate.)
Crisp and clear
—We’re to the point. We write for scanning first, reading second.
We make it simple above all.
Ready to lend a hand
—We show customers we’re on their side. We anticipate their
real needs and offer great information at just the right time.
Talking to our customers in a way that’s warm and relaxed, crisp and clear, and ready to
lend a hand reflects our commitment to empowering people to achieve more.
Style tips
A few key elements of writing Microsoft’s voice:
What do we mean by voice?
Three voice principles
A focus on the customer

the most noticeable spot. Make choices and next steps obvious. Give people just
enough information to make decisions confidently. Don’t get in the way.
Talk like a person.
Choose optimistic, conversational language. Use short everyday
words, contractions, and sentence-style capitalization. Shun jargon and acronyms.
And never miss an opportunity to find a better word.
Simpler is better.
Everyone likes clarity and getting to the point. Break it up. Step it
out. Layer. Short sentences and fragments are easier to scan and read. Prune every
excess word.

Acronyms checklist
Article
•
01/08/2025
Although some acronyms are widely understood and preferred to the spelled-out term,
others aren’t well known or are familiar only to a specific group of customers. These tips
will help you use acronyms and abbreviations in a way that’s clear and meaningful.
Always spell out Microsoft product and feature names.
Only use acronyms that your audience is familiar with.
For most acronyms, spell out the term first and include the acronym in
parentheses. On subsequent mentions, you can use the acronym without spelling it
out.
Lowercase all words in the spelled-out form of an acronym except for proper
nouns.
Don’t spell out the acronym if it’s listed in
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
or if the
A–Z word list
says to use the acronym without spelling it out. If you’re sure your
audience is familiar with an acronym, it’s OK to use it without spelling it out.
Don’t introduce an acronym that’s used just once unless it’s needed for SEO.
Avoid using an acronym for the first time in a title or heading, unless it’s a keyword
that you need to place in the title or heading for SEO.
Use
a
or
an,
depending on how you pronounce the acronym (for example,
an ISP, a
SQL database
).
Form the plural of an acronym like you would any other noun (for example,
three
APIs
).
Unless an acronym refers to a person or an organization, avoid using the
possessive form.
In content that will be machine translated, be careful with acronyms that form
common English words, like
RAM.
They can be translated incorrectly.

Capitalization checklist
Article

01/08/2025
In general, Microsoft style is sentence-style capitalization.
Always capitalize proper nouns.
Lowercase everything except the first word in a sentence, UI label, phrase, heading,
or title (including the titles of blogs, articles, and press releases).
Don’t capitalize the spelled-out form of an acronym unless it's a proper noun.
Use title-style capitalization for product and service names, book and song titles,
article titles in citations, names of blogs, and titles of people (
Vice President
, for
example).
It's OK to use title-style capitalization in tweets to set off a quoted article.
In programming languages, follow the traditional capitalization of keywords and
other special terms.
Don't use all uppercase for emphasis.
Don't use all lowercase as a design choice.

Grammar and parts of speech checklist
Article

01/08/2025
As creative as it is, the art of writing is governed by a set of rules with a lot of built-in
flexibility. This checklist covers rules of grammar that are important in Microsoft content
and how to apply them. You'll notice a preference for style and word choices that are
simple, straightforward, and human. That's what makes us sound like Microsoft—
and helps you connect with customers.
These basic guidelines will get you started creating clear and useful content.
Use present-tense verbs—verbs that indicate the action is happening now, like
is
and 
open.
Avoid
will, was,
and verbs ending in
–ed,
 which indicate that text isn't in
the present tense.
Learn more
.
For most content, write simple statements of fact (called the 
indicative mood
). Use
direct commands (
imperative mood
) for procedures and instructions. Use wishes,
hypotheses, and suggestions (
subjunctive mood
) sparingly.
Learn more.
Use active voice (where the subject performs the action) whenever you can. In
passive voice, the receiver of the action is the subject. 
Learn more.
Match a verb with its subject in person and number.
Learn more.
Examples
The document is in the folder.
The documents are in the folder.
Use second person most of the time. Second person often uses the pronoun
you,
as though you're speaking to the customer.
Learn more
.
Don't use gender-specific singular pronouns (
he
 or 
she
) in generic references.
Instead, use
you
or refer to someone's role.
Learn more
.
Capitalize proper nouns—things like names of unique people, places, and things
(products, books, organizations, and companies, for example). Check
Merriam-
Webster Dictionary
 or the
A–Z word list
to find out whether a term is a proper
noun.
Learn more.
Be careful with words ending in –
ing
, which can play different roles in a phrase. For
example, in the phrase
meeting requirements,
make sure it's clear whether this is a
discussion about requirements for a meeting or how to meet requirements.
Learn more.
Prepositional phrases modify something else in a sentence. For example, in
The
reading pane displays the content of the selected message,
the phrase
of the
selected message
modifies
the content.
Avoid using consecutive prepositional
phrases. Long chains of prepositional phrases are hard to read and
interpret. 
Learn more
.
Modifiers are words or phrases that modify other words or phrases. Make sure it's
clear what they modify. For example, in the phrase 
the selected text only is
modified,
the word
only
could modify
text
or
is modified.
Rewrite as
only the
selected text is modified
to clarify.

Numbers checklist
Article
•
04/14/2025
When you write about numbers used in examples or UI, duplicate them exactly as they appear
in the UI. In all other content, follow these guidelines. For detailed guidelines, see
Numbers
.
Use for:
Zero through nine, unless space is limited.
One of the numbers, when two numbers that refer to separate categories must appear
together. For example,
two 3-page articles
.
At the beginning of a sentence.
Ordinal numbers, such as
first.
Don't add
-ly
, as in
firstly
, to ordinal numbers.
Use for:
Numbers in UI.
Numbers 10 or greater.
Numbers zero through nine when you have limited space.
All numbers in a category if one or more numbers requires a numeral. For example,
a 16-
page article, a 7-page article, and a 3-page article.
Measurements of distance, temperature, volume, size, weight, pixels, points, and so on. To
learn more, see
Units of measure term collection
.
A round number of 1 million or more.
Numbers the customer is directed to type.
Dimensions. Use the multiplication sign (×), preceded and followed by a space, for tile
sizes, screen resolutions, and paper sizes. For everything else, spell out
by
.
Time of day.
Percentages. Use the percent sign (“%”) with numerals, rather than spelling out “percent.”
Coordinates of tables or worksheets and numbered sections of documents.
Use in numbers that have four or more digits, regardless of how they appear in the UI.
Exception: When designating years or baud, use commas only when the number has five
or more digits.
Spelled out numbers
Numerals
Commas
Don't use in page numbers, street addresses, or decimal fractions.
Don't use ordinal numbers, such as
June first
or
October twenty-eighth
, for dates. Use a
numeral instead.
Always spell out the name of the month.
Learn more about
dates and time
.
Form a negative number with a minus sign, not an en dash. Learn more about
Em dashes,
en dashes, hyphens, and minus signs
.
Hyphenate compound numbers when they're spelled out. Learn more about
Em dashes,
en dashes, hyphens, and minus signs
.
Don't use numerals separated by a slash to express fractions. Exception: When an
equation occurs in text, it's OK to use a slash between the numerator and the
denominator.
Hyphenate spelled-out fractions. Connect the numerator and denominator with a hyphen
unless either already contains a hyphen (for example,
one-third
but
three sixty-fourths
).
Learn more about
Em dashes, en dashes, hyphens, and minus signs
.
In tables, align decimals on the decimal point.
In decimal fractions less than one, include a zero (
0.1255
, for example) unless the
customer is asked to type the value.
When spelling out units of measure, use the singular form for quantities of one or less,
except for zero, which takes the plural form. Learn more about
units of measure
.
In most cases, use
from
and
through
to describe a range of numbers. Exception: Use an en
dash in a range of pages or where space is an issue, such as in tables and UI.
Don't use
from
before a range indicated by an en dash, such as
10–15
.
Dates
Negative numbers
Compound numbers
Fractions and decimals
Ranges of numbers
Learn more about
Em dashes, en dashes, hyphens, and minus signs
.
In UI, avoid
K, M,
and
B
as abbreviations for
thousand, million,
and
billion
unless space is
limited.
In other content, spell out
thousand, million,
and
billion,
or use the entire number.
Contact your localization team before using these abbreviations in content that will be
localized.
If you must use the abbreviations, follow these guidelines:
Capitalize
K, M,
and
B.
Don't put a space between the number and the abbreviation.
Use the decimal form of a number (such as
8.25M
) only if it really will save space.

Procedures and instructions checklist
In the best-case scenario, the UI is so clear and task driven that you don't need additional
instructions. When the task is more complex or involves more than one UI, look for the
simplest way to present it. That might be:
A picture, an illustration, a poster, or an infographic.
A video.
A single sentence.
A numbered procedure, supplemented if necessary with pictures, videos, and links or
buttons that take customers where they need to go.
Follow this checklist when procedures are the best way to help your customers complete a
task. Use consistent text formatting—see
Formatting text in instructions
. And always think
accessibility—see
Accessibility guidelines and requirements
.
Learn more about procedures and instructions
.
Use numbered steps.
Write a complete sentence for each step. Capitalize the first word and end the sentence
with a period.
Use
imperative verb forms
.
Consider using a heading that tells customers what the procedure will help them do.
Keep it short—ideally, fit the whole procedure on one screen. Omit unnecessary details.
Combine simple actions that occur in the same place in the UI into a single step.
Include actions that complete a procedure, such as selecting the
OK
or
Apply
button.
Make sure customers know where the action in the step takes place. Provide a brief
phrase if you need to, such as "on the
Design
tab, …." Or provide an introductory step to
avoid any confusion: "On the ribbon, go to the
Design
tab."
If there's only one step, use the format that you use for procedures with multiple steps,
but replace the number with a bullet. Or use regular paragraph text.
If your editorial style guide allows it, abbreviate simple sequences of menu interactions by
using greater-than symbols. Don't use bold formatting for the symbols. Include a space
before and after each one.

UI by underlined letters.
If you need to document mouse procedures, be consistent. For example, list the mouse
method before the keyboard method consistently if you document both. Don't combine
Interactions with the UI

hold down Shift while
clicking
instead of
Shift+click

If you describe joystick interactions, assume that a mouse is a primary input device.
Include joystick information in a table along with other alternative input methods.
Use these verbs for pen and touch input:
Use
tap
to describe selecting something on the screen by tapping it once with a finger
or pen. Don't use
tap on
. Don't use
click
.
Use
double-tap
to describe selecting something on the screen by tapping twice in
quick succession. Don't use
double-tap on
. Don't use
double-click
.
Use
tap and hold
only if a program or app requires it. Don't use
touch and hold
.
Use
pan
to describe moving the screen in multiple directions, as you would pan a
camera to see different views of the environment. For contact gestures, use
pan
to
refer to moving a finger, hand, or pen on the device surface to move through screens
or menus. Don't use
drag
or
scroll
for these actions.
Use
flick
to describe moving one or more fingers to scroll through items on the screen.
Don't use
scroll
.
Use
swipe
to describe a short, quick movement in the direction opposite to how the
page scrolls.
Learn more about alternative input methods
.
If you need to document multiple ways to perform a task, use one of these methods:
List the steps in a table. Put the step numbers in the left column, and provide a separate
column for each input method.
Document the primary input method, and provide alternative instructions in parentheses
or separate sentences.
If there are alternative ways to perform an entire procedure, such as saving a file and
continuing to work or saving a file and closing a program, use a table. List each
alternative in the left column and instructions on the right.
If a step has more than one option, list the options as bullets under the numbered step.

Keep it simple.
Stick to short, simple sentences. Sentences that contain lots of punctuation tend
to be complex and hard to read.
End all sentences with a period, even if they're only two words.
Use only one space after periods, question marks, exclamation marks, and colons.
Include a colon at the end of a phrase that directly introduces a list.
If one or more list elements complete the introductory phrase preceding the
colon, use a period after every list element. 
If all list elements are short phrases (three words or fewer), don’t end them with
periods, even if they form a complete sentence together with the list
introduction. 
If one or more list elements are complete sentences, use a period after every
element, even if a list element contains three or fewer words.
Include commas after every item in a series, including the last one.

In general, use people-first language (refer first to the person, followed by the disability). To
ensure clarity and consistency, this should be the default unless you know a specific audience
prefers otherwise.
In some cases, however, identity-first language can be used, because some people and
communities take pride in recognizing their disability as an integral part of their identity and
feel that person-first language is marginalizing. Always make an effort to know the preferences
expressed by a person with a disability or a disability community and defer to these.
In all cases, don't use language that has offensive or insensitive connotations, such as
maimed
or

Bit and byte terms
ﾃ
Summarize this article for me
In general, spell out
bit
and
byte
terms on the first mention unless:
Your audience is familiar with the abbreviation.
You're working on UI text.
In those cases, or after you've spelled out the term on the first mention, it's OK to use the
abbreviation.
Use abbreviations only with numbers in specific measurements.
Examples
128 TB
measured in terabytes
Insert a space between the abbreviation and the numeral, or hyphenate if the
measurement modifies a noun.
Examples
512 gigabytes (GB) of RAM
from 1 GB to a maximum of 2 GB
23 MB/day
up to 2 TB of physical memory with 8 TB of address space
200 MB of available hard-drive space
a 650-MB limit
In measurements, when the unit of measure isn't abbreviated, use the singular form of
the unit of measure when the number is 1. Use the plural form for all other
measurements.
Examples
0 megabits
0.5 megabits
1 megabit
15 megabits
Use
of
to add a modifier to a measurement used as a noun.

06/24/2022
As cloud computing evolves, the consistent use of its terminology across Microsoft
content presents a clear story to customers.
This section covers common cloud-computing terms.
For more information about creating new terms or using emerging terminology, see
Use
technical terms carefully
.
Term
Usage
as a service (-aaS)
Use only
as a service (-aaS)
terms included in this term list.
Don’t create new
as a service
terms or
-aaS
acronyms. Instead, describe
the service and what it provides the customer.
cloud, the cloud
Don't capitalize
cloud
except in references to the Microsoft Cloud or when
it's part of a product name.
Use
cloud
mostly as an adjective. Use sparingly as a noun—instead of
the
cloud
, talk about
cloud computing
,
cloud services
, or a specific service or
functionality and what the customer can do with it.
cloud bursting,
cloud-bursting
It’s OK to use
cloud bursting
for technical audiences to mean when a
private cloud taps into additional resources on the public cloud to meet a
spike in demand. Define on the first mention.
Hyphenate
cloud-bursting
as an adjective preceding a noun, as in
cloud-
bursting configuration
.
cloud computing,
cloud platform,
cloud services
Use
cloud computing
, not
the cloud
, to refer generally to the delivery of
computing services over the internet.
Use
cloud platform

content about Azure.
Use
cloud services
to refer to the services provided via the cloud—such as
servers, storage, databases, and software.
All terms are two words and lowercase.
cloud native, cloud-
native
In content for a technical audience, it’s OK to use
cloud native
to describe
technologies that are built originally for the cloud and therefore
optimized for cloud scale and performance.

Screen readers skip over some symbols and other nonalphabetic characters without reading
them or indicating their presence. This situation can cause accessibility problems:
Users of a document or webpage lack important information.
Users of a website or web app can't determine the purpose of buttons and other UI
elements.
Be aware of this possibility whenever you write content that users will access in electronic form.
Consider the following solutions.
Whenever you can, write out the words that you mean instead of using special characters. For
example, write "1 through 10" instead of "1–10."
If you must use special characters, use the correct character for the purpose, as outlined in the
preceding table. For example, unless you must match what appears in the UI, use a
multiplication sign (×) instead of an asterisk (*) or the letter
x
to represent a multiplication
operation.
In content written in HTML or a related language (including Markdown), you can improve the
accessibility of
some
special characters by inserting a character entity reference instead of the
Accessibility considerations for special characters
General approaches
Content in HTML and related formats: Character entity
references
character itself. This type of reference begins with an ampersand (&) and ends with a
semicolon (;).
For example, for a copyright symbol, you can enter
©
instead of the symbol in your code.
A screen reader that skips over the symbol itself should read out something like "copyright" for
the entity reference, giving users information that they would otherwise lack.
However, because of the way screen readers work, the use of entity references for
all
special
characters doesn't necessarily yield a better user experience.
For UI elements, such as for a website or web app, an alternative to character entity references
is the
aria-label
attribute. This attribute is part of Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich
Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA). WAI-ARIA is a set of roles and attributes that define ways to
make web content and web applications more accessible to people with disabilities.
The
aria-label
attribute is applicable only to:
Interactive elements, such as buttons, text boxes, and checkboxes.
Images.
So-called
landmarks
, such as a page's header, footer, menu, and main content area.
It isn't intended—or widely supported—for static, non-UI textual content.
If the label text of an applicable UI element includes a special character from the preceding
table, but you're not using the specified entity reference, add an
aria-label
attribute to the
element to improve accessibility. A screen reader will then read out the attribute's value instead
of the element's label text.
The value that you provide for the attribute should give the full name of the element, including
the name of the special character as it should be read.
Assume that an app includes buttons for selecting the number of degrees to rotate an image.
The label text for these buttons must include a degree symbol (°). Here are the accessible ways
to handle this situation:
Character entity reference in label text:
UI elements:
aria-label
attributes
Example
Character in label text,
aria-label
on element:
<button aria-label="90
degrees">90°
In both cases, a screen reader should correctly read out "ninety degrees."
