Microsoftreleasedthe new Skype insider version 8.122.76.100, and there are plenty of new and exciting features that will make you feel it’s a part of Microsoft’s Word text editor.

You’ve probably guest already that the main upgrade is that of the Skype desktop text composer, that will now bring a lot of new formatting options to reduce the clutter and make the conversation look a lot more coherent to be honest.

So, the first major improvement is that you can structure the text into numbered and nested lists, bullets, indentations, as well as undo and redo buttons for editing. So, basically, you will finally be able to create lists, and they will be neatly grouped, to be easily seen in the chat. The emojis will also be converted straight from its shortcut for more expressivity.

Now comes the best part: when you paste the text from a supported word processor, Skype will respect its formatting and will display it correctly in the content area.

This is a huge improvement because many times when you paste a text with special formatting or characters, you have all the chances to get some gibberish in the Skype chat.

Skype will also have some useful keyboard shortcuts for Windows and Mac:
