Manual Option To Add Font, Color, Background, Theme, etc
I had moments ago described an issue with building a Sway. When the text and graphics are put together it's all entirely random. There needs to be consistency and documentation to this process. THIS IS NOT THE SAME ISSUE.
When creating a Sway not only are the options limited (right side) but what is available I find utterly confusing. This could be organized far better such as picks: Select - background, font, color, whatever... The one click option to change is like everything else in the app totally random so I am forever clicking. Usually I end up liking a…

More design tools for spacing
It would be nice to be able to define the white space a little more within Sway. We are starting to use Sway for our internal newsletters. As the newsletter editor, I created a template, but the Creative Director needed to approve it and wants more space between cards.

Alignmet options.
Hi.
It would be great if you can align the text like in Word. Aligment options like justify or align to the right.
Thanks.

Endnotes/Footnotes that are linked
Sway templates have little footnotes/endnotes sections which is great. But it would be great if you could make endnotes appear in a familiar format, like superscript. It would also be helpful if you could more easily make these link to their location in the endnotes tile.

mobile
Please could a mobile preview function/button be developed for Sway to assist Sway producers to check how this would look and be displayed on a mobile.
This functionality is provided in Forms. In this digital era this would help producers ensure that Sways look as professional as possible across multiple media streams, especially when there is an increased reliance on mobile phones to read communications.

PWAs dos apps do Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
PWAs dos apps do Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
PWAs dos apps do Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)Uma sugestão: Os apps do office online (office.com) poderiam se instalar sozinhos como PWA. Por exemplo: Word Online seria PWA do office.com/launch/word?ui, PowerPoint seria do office.com/launch/powerpoint?ui e assim com o Excel.
Também poderiam dar repaginada naquela aba arquivo do Office Online. pois tem um visual feio e antigo, na minha opinião está fora dos padrões do fluent design.
Assim o Office ficaria bem melhor.
Porque ainda deixam aquele visual de win8/office 2016 em alguns produtos do Office como Sway e OneNote?

Allow to further customize each cards look based on the Style selected
Allow to further customize each cards look based on the Style selected.
Sometimes you want a card or a group of cards to slightly stand out from the rest. There should be sub-styles that each card or group of cards can be modified to for this purpose, but still adhering to the overall style selected.

Set your own image as the background of the entire Sway
It would be nice if I could set my own image as the background of my entire Sway presentation, like there are already some prepared backgrounds but it would be great if I could use my own image.

Add comments to sway
Add comments and easy yammer share option inside the sway because when you create a newsletter sometimes the comments option can be a good plus

Allow to edit each cards playback time
Allow to edit each cards playback time.
Some cards don't need a lot of time to present in playback, like introductory cards. But other cards contain a bit more context and you need to offer the audience more time to read the content.
Setting a preset time holistically to all cards can dulls the audience during intro cards if the playback duration is too long and can cause the audience to give up if they can't read the cards with more substance if the playback duration is too short.

more font choices
I already voted for the custom font option, but at the very least, I think Sway should offer the same standard font options that are available in other MS Office applications, like PPT and Word (Trebuchet, Verdana, etc.).

More fonts for specific storytelling themes
Wider selection of fonts, especially "historic" fonts e.g. JSL Ancients/Apocrypha, and also transport fonts like Johnston100 (London tube font), NY Subway or ability to upload font files for my account
For guidance as to range of impactful fonts that would be desirable, please consult "The non-designers design book" and the "The non-designers presentation book" both by Robin WIlliams.

Text Box Use Entire Screen in Vertical Style
Currently, the text boxes only use 2/3 of the screen, even though images with even moderate focus cross the entire screen. It looks unprofessional and puts an unnecessary limit on how much text I can have show below an image. Is there a way to extend the text box to match the length that an image can take on screen?
