Microsoft has added a new web design app called Sway to its Office suite.

The software enables users to create "interactive, web-based" projects based on content from Facebook, YouTube and other services.

For instance, if the user highlights a selection of photos from their Facebook account, Sway will arrange them using its design algorithms and turn them into an interactive image stack.

"The magic of Sway really shows as you're creating a Sway. Sway's built-in design engine takes the hassle out of formatting your content by putting all of it into a cohesive layout as you create."

"This means that from the first word, image, Tweet, or graphic you add, your Sway is already being formed for you," explained Microsoft in a blog post published on October 1."

This content is imported from YouTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

Users can edit their layouts using a wide array of tools and the results will be uploaded to Microsoft's cloud servers.

The app is currently a work in progress, but users can apply to take part in an invite-only preview via the Sway website.
