A unique #lexicmind is Sir Richard Branson, the powerhouse entrepreneur from Britain, born in 1950. If you haven't heard of him yet, he is a true legend in the business world, creating an empire of over 400 companies with Virgin Group.

🏆 Great Achievements:

  • Virgin Records. Ever heard of it? Of course, you have! It's one of the top dogs in the global record industry, all thanks to Branson's genius.

  • He's not stopping there! Virgin Galactic, his latest venture, aims to make space tourism a reality for everyone.

Tools and Tips

How to use an immersive reader in Microsoft Word

Watch this (play me) 👇

We reviewed Microsoft Word’s Immersive Reader to see how it stacks up for enhancing your reading experience. Here's a rundown of the standout features and a few areas where it falls short.

Pros ➕

  • Seamless Access: Get started with Immersive Reader in just a few clicks.

  • Tailor Your Experience: Customize everything from page color to text spacing and column width to match your reading preferences.

  • Listen as You Read: Enjoy the built-in read-aloud feature for a hands-free reading experience.

Cons ➖

  • Text Spacing Quirk: The increased spacing can make the font appear stretched, needing some adjustment.

  • Interrupted Read-Aloud: The read-aloud feature stops if you minimize the window or switch to another tool.

  • Highlighting Distraction: Each word is highlighted as it's read aloud, which can be distracting.
