    I notice your post contains 2 type of language, and your site’s location setting is English. I’ll reply in English here.

    Dear @Wan Aiman,

    I understand you’re using Word for the web and you’re looking for the “Options” menu (like File > Options in the desktop app).

    In Word for the web, there is no “Word Options” dialog like the desktop Word app, so File > Options does not appear in the web version by design.

    Most settings and commands in Word for the web are instead available directly on the Ribbon tabs (for example Home, Layout, Review, View).

    Here are a few quick ways to access what you need:

    1/ Make sure the Ribbon is visible (often where the “options” are):

    Select Ribbon Display Options (top-right) and choose Always show Ribbon (or switch to Classic Ribbon).

    If the Ribbon is completely hidden, click the ellipsis (…) at the top-right to temporarily bring it back, then set Always show Ribbon to keep it visible.

    2/ Use the Ribbon tabs to find the setting you need:

    Many common settings are available directly on the Ribbon rather than in a single Options window.

    3/ If you need advanced settings that normally live in File > Options (desktop-only):

    Those settings may require opening the document in the desktop Word app, since Word for the web doesn’t include the full Options dialog

    If you tell me which specific option you’re trying to change (e.g., proofing language, AutoCorrect, save behavior, add-ins), I can point you to the exact place in Word for the web or confirm if it requires the desktop app.

    Moreover, I want you to know that Microsoft deeply values customer experience and feedback. Every single comment matter, and the product teams actively review what customers share to guide decisions and improvements. Your voice is powerful here, and I encourage you to make it heard through the official feedback channels. Therefore, to ensure your feedback reaches the right teams, I highly recommend submitting your feedback directly to Microsoft Ideas · Community, where our product development team can know your requirements and ideas for product improvements. If enough users raise ticket for the same idea, Microsoft may consider adding this feature in the future.

    Note: As Microsoft Community moderators, please note that I'm not involved in product design decisions and do not have direct access to the development roadmap, I want to assure you that your feedback has been acknowledged and is valued.

    However, you can rest assured that you are not alone, I’ll continue to monitor this case and will reach out to you with any new updates as soon as possible. If any updates or announcements are made regarding this feature, I will make sure to share them with you as soon as possible.

    I understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for. I truly appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    In Word for the web there is no Word Options dialog like in the desktop Word app, so the Options button shown in many desktop tutorials is not available in the web version.

    Most settings in Word for the web are simplified and exposed directly on the ribbon (for example, formatting commands on the Home tab, or layout commands on the Layout tab). The File menu in Word for the web only shows basic document actions such as New, Open, Share, Export, Print, Rename, and Delete, as in the screenshot.

    To access more commands in Word for the web, use:

    • The simplified/classic ribbon switch and the Search box on the ribbon to find commands.
    • The Home, Insert, Layout, and other tabs for formatting and editing options.

    The full Options button and dialog described in many articles apply only to the desktop versions of Word (Word for Microsoft 365, Word 2021, Word 2019, etc.), not Word for the web.
