I subscribed Microsoft 365 for personal. And I downloaded the newest office 365. But I can't find where is the Microsoft Editor is. (which is introduced in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/introducing-microsoft-editor-bring-out-your-best-writer-wherever/ba-p/1247931)

So how to enable it and where I can find it.

    For information about the Editor, see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/check-grammar-spelling-and-more-in-word-0f43bf32-ccde-40c5-b16a-c6a282c0d251. Note that not all languages are supported yet (see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/editor-s-spelling-grammar-and-refinement-availability-by-language-ecd60e9f-6b2e-4070-b30c-42efa6cff55a). For the Editor to be available, you also need to allow "connected experiences" in Word (File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings).

    Note that there have been some issues with the display of images when a 32-bit version of Office is run on a 64-bit version of Windows.  I do not know if it has been rectified in the latest update of Office.

    It should be on the Home tab of the ribbon.  

    While I do have it there in a 32-bit installation of Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus Version 2004 (Build 12730.20236 Click-to-Run) Monthly Channel, I do not have it in a 64-bit installation of Version and Build of what now appears in the Product Information as Microsoft 365 for enterprise and, while I can add the Editor tab to the ribbon, it is not populated with the Editor icon, which I can add to the Quick Access Toolbar, where it looks pretty but does not do anything.

    Before the latest update, the Product Information for the 64-bit installation showed as Microsoft Office 365 ProPlus.

    Looking at the article for which you provided the link, I only see references to 32-bit so I am not sure that it has been rolled out yet for 64-bit installations.

    Thanks for your reply. And I will try a 32-bit version installer.
