We, perhaps, missed the most important lesson, from which we had to start adding materials to our site. Recently, my little sister asked how to create a new Word document. And I thought, and after all, those who first sat down at computers may not know this, although it seems to us a matter of seconds.
There are several ways to create a new document. First, the first and easiest way is to simply run Microsoft Word and with the launch of the program a new document should be created. You can open the program from the Start menu or from shortcuts located on your desktop.
If you already have one document open and you need to open another one, then proceed as follows. There is a round button in the upper left part of the program. Click on it and there will be a Create button. After clicking on it, you will see an additional window where you need to select a document template.
If you need a simple blank sheet, then just click on the "New Document" button. After that, a new blank blank sheet will appear on your screen. If you want a pre-created template that can be useful, for example, for a resume, then you need to select the “Installed templates” item in the left part of the window.
There you will find many different templates for every taste and color. Also, if you have a licensed version of Microsoft Office, which I have no doubt, you have the Microsoft Office Online item. There you can find templates that were updated by developers software at the time of the relevance of this version of the office.
You can choose from different colors of documents. If you have old version and there is no option to select templates, the program will offer you to update it, and tell you step by step how to do it.
And finally, I want to say that the most fast way to create a new document is to use a combination of hot keys. To create a new document, you need to press “CTRL + N” and you will immediately open a new document. Sometimes it’s very convenient to read an article to the end, isn’t it? Always the most interesting at the end.
I think that each of you periodically uses Microsoft Word. So, the first thing you should be able to do is create new documents. And only then, you should learn, competently.
In general, read the article below and find out everything.
Addition
Before I start giving detailed information on creating a document in Word, read the article on the topic,. That is, if you already have a document with docx resolution, but you do not know how to open it, I advise you to read the issue (link above).
And if you need to copy text or something else from the old document to the new one. Then it will be easier to use hot keys, such as ctrl + c - copy and ctrl + v - paste.
A new document is created by holding down the Ctrl+N combination.
Note. Copying the text is very simple and what combinations to clamp I indicated above, but for this you need to read one of the old issues of the portal, the link is attached.

In order not to suffer later with saving the document in desired folder, to the desktop or it’s not clear where at all, I advise you to initially create a new document in a folder.

Creating a document template
What is a template in Word, what is it for and how to create it?
Perhaps you often work with Word documents and many of the docks have the same form. That is, the structure is similar and you have to constantly copy from old files and paste into new ones, or open old docks and change them, or maybe even worse, do everything all over again.
A template is a special type of document that you can open and edit. Then the whole thing is saved to a specific location on the computer. But the template remains unchanged.
The template created in Word is saved in DOT, DOTX or DOTM formats. The latter allows you to work with macros.
What can be templates in Word? For example, a formal letter template, a business plan template. A logo is placed in one corner, for example, in the other, the initials of the sender and his address are fixed. Depending on what you are doing, such a template should be created.

The program is very useful and multifunctional. In principle, you don’t need to know much for simple typing, even a beginner can figure it out, but we will consider the various possibilities of this text editor.
Learning to work with Microsoft Office Word.
In the article, everything will be shown using the example of Microsoft Office Word 2010, but if you have Office 2007, don't worry, in the video tutorial below the article, I showed how to do everything that was mentioned in the article.
So, we start Microsoft Office Word.
For clarity, let's type some text. Well, or copy a few paragraphs from the site and consider, how to insert text in word. Select the text and:
- or click right click mouse and select Copy;
- or simultaneously hold down the Ctrl + C keys (you can read more about hot keys in).
Text copied to . To paste it, right-click on an empty space in the document and select Paste, or simply hold down the Ctrl + V keys.
In the upper left corner is office button in Word- this is the main button of the program and with its help you can perform various actions. In the 2007 version of the program, this is a round button, and in the 2010 version, there is a File tab instead.
Their functions are almost the same, only the design is slightly different. Now let's take a closer look at the contents of this button. So, you press the button.
How to create a new document in Microsoft Word?
First, let's consider how to create a new one word document. Click Create and select New Document.
As you can see, in addition to the document, there is also a Blog entry with which you can write texts for posting on the Internet if you have your own blog, that is, an Internet diary.
Here you can find various templates or create your own. Quite a useful thing, by the way, since often great difficulties arise when it is necessary to properly format a business letter, announcement, card or some other document, and there are already blanks here, you just need to type your text. Or, as already mentioned, you can create your own template, for example, a questionnaire, and send it to other people to fill it out. To do this, click Create, select My Templates, put a dot in the Template item and click OK. Now you can create your template.
However, most users only need to know how to create a word document, but it does not hurt to remember about other options. If you need it, you'll know where to look.
So let's create a new document. A blank document opens in a new window, separate from our original document.
How to open and save a Word document?
The next paragraph will help us to know how to open doc document. Click Open, then look for any document previously saved on your computer or downloaded from the Internet in doc format. The program itself will show the documents that it supports.
A window will open in which you can choose where exactly on the computer we want to save the document. And since we did not save it before, we must also enter the name of the document. Enter a name by which you will understand what kind of document it is. Select the file type as Word Document if it is not selected by default, and click Save.
Here, the document was saved on the desktop, as we chose.
Now, when you press the Save button again, you will not need to enter a name, the program will simply update the existing document. I advise you to save the document often so as not to lose data due to power outages or system freezes. And a little off-topic advice: try not to save important data on the desktop, in My Documents, and in general on system drive C. If something happens to the system and, say, you have to or, there is a high probability of losing data. Therefore, save to other local drives, for example, D or E.
Now let's go back to the Word and consider the Save As button.
When we press, we will see a familiar window. Here you can save the document with a different name, thus creating a copy that you can later work with without changing the original document. Here you can also save the document in a different format by clicking File Type and selecting the line we need.
There are many formats displayed here, but we are interested in literally 3 of them. If you have Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010, then when you select the Word Document file type, the document will be saved in docx format. In earlier versions of Word, this format is not supported, where documents are saved in doc format by default. So how to open docx document? To do this, you will first have to open it in Word 2007 or 2010 and save it by selecting the file type Word Document 97-2003. Now the document should open on computers with any version of Word. Also in this case, you can save the document as Text in RTF format. This is a fairly common format and it is supported not only by all versions of the Word, but also by many other text editors.
Print out a Word document.
And finally, let's figure it out how to print document in word. To do this, select Print.
Shown here on the left preview, that is, the type of document that it will be if it is printed. If you have several printers connected, you can choose which one you want to send the print to. To configure various settings, such as printing in color or black and white, click Printer Properties. We will not consider this point in detail, because the settings window and the settings themselves are different. To print the document, click the Print button with the image of the printer.
Now let's quickly go through the customizable features when printing in Word.
With this button, we select which pages we want to print: all or only the current one. You can also print specific pages by entering page numbers. You can enter numbers separated by commas and spaces if you need to print several pages that are not in order (for example, 1, 3, 7, 15) or through a hyphen to print from such and such a page to such (for example, 7-25 ).
To print multiple copies of a document, write the number of copies.
A little lower you can configure the order in which copies will be printed: ready-made sets, or, for example, first all the first pages, then all the second ones, and so on.
You can also set up single-sided or double-sided printing.
When printing duplex, the printer will print one side first, and then the screen will show instructions on how to turn the sheets over to print on the other side.
It is better not to touch the page size, it is A4 by default.
Margins, that is, indents along the edges of pages on which nothing will be printed, you can choose ready-made ones or set your own. The smaller the margin, the more text will fit on the page. But if you have some important document, then you need to take into account certain requirements for its design and set the necessary fields.
And the last select the number of pages per sheet. Usually 1 page is selected, but if you want to make something like a brochure or just save paper, you can choose 2 pages per sheet. But keep in mind, the more pages, the smaller size text.
So we got acquainted with some of the main features of Microsoft Office Word, most of which will undoubtedly be useful to you. Study this program and consolidate your knowledge, because the ability to work with a Word is always useful and very valuable in our time of digital technology. Good luck with this useful program!
A template is almost a finished document saved as a special file format. Most Microsoft Office templates are designed in such a way that all you have to do is fill in the data in it. The document is already in place.
Obviously, there are a number of documents whose creation can be templated. For example, it can be a resume or a letter - the structure of such documents is more or less the same. And if so, then there is no particular need to reinvent the wheel every time, creating a new document from scratch. It is for this purpose that templates were invented.
In addition, if you regularly create documents of the same type and do not need to ensure the unique design of each document, then in this case you can also use templates. How to do this, we will now consider.
How to create Word and Excel documents from a template
To begin with, we will use the standard built-in templates that are included with Microsoft Office. Creating a new document from a template is the same in both Word and Excel, so I will give all examples in Microsoft Word.
To create a new document from a template, go to the menu File on the ribbon and select Create.
As can be seen from the figure, here you can choose not only to create a document from the Word templates included in the program package and located on your computer, but also select a suitable template from the Internet. To view built-in templates, select "Sample templates"; to view additional templates on the Internet, select"Office.com Templates" (folder-shaped icons).
In the latter case, the computer must be connected to the Internet. The desired template will be loaded automatically when you select it.
Before finalizing a template, you can preview what your document will look like—as always, the preview is very handy.

Don't use keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + N to create a new document from a template: pressing this keyboard shortcut will immediately create a regular blank document.
And here it is, the result!

How to create your own templates
If you often create documents of the same type, you can create and save your own template. In the future, it can be used to create new documents, saving you time. Creating your own template in Word or Excel is very easy. To do this, you first need to properly prepare the document in the way you need, that is, simply create a document. Then you need to save the document, choosing as the file type not a Microsoft Word (Excel) document, but Word template (Excel).

Summing up
Using Microsoft Office templates saves a lot of time when creating similar documents or documents that have some standard structure.
However, a common mistake many users make is the belief that since there are patterns, then it seems like you don’t need to be able to do anything. This is not the case, since the template also needs to be edited by adding your data to it. These data, in turn, may well require registration. This is where a good knowledge of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel comes in handy.
When creating a document from a template, keep in mind that other people besides you can use the same template. So if you want to create a unique document, you have to create it from scratch.
Before you get started in Microsoft Word, you need to learn how to create new documents. The process is pretty simple. With our instructions, you will figure it out very quickly.
Using hotkeys
As you know, hotkeys significantly allow you to speed up your work at the computer. So in Microsoft Word, basic operations can be carried out by pressing the appropriate keyboard shortcut.
If we need to create a clean document, without formatting, completely ready to work, we should click:
You need to do this with the editor running.
Useful for you: here are all the main Word keyboard shortcuts
Using the editor menu
Launch Microsoft Word. Click the "File" button in the top left corner. Select "Create". A menu will open with all the available templates. You need the "New Document" item. Select it and click the "Create" button.
The document will be created, you will see a blank sheet without formatting. Now you can work with him.
Windows context menu
If the package is installed on your computer Microsoft programs Office, the functions for creating new documents are built into the windows context menu.
Navigate to the folder where you want to place the future document. Call the context menu by right-clicking on any free space in the folder. In the menu that appears, select "Create", then " Microsoft Document Word". It will be created.
Let's now give it its name. Select and call the context menu again. Now click on "Rename". Type in the desired value and hit "Enter".
Now run it and you can work.
Creating a document template
If you often work with documents that have a similar structure, then it makes sense to create a template for them.
A Word template is the basic structure of a document, which includes the location of individual elements, text formatting settings. An example of a template is a formal letter. The company logo is top in the center, information about the director is on the side, etc.
Every time you need to write a letter to your clients, it is enough to create a new document based on a ready-made template and add the desired text.
So, how can you create a new template in Word. Launch the editor and create a new document. Style it accordingly. Add all the necessary elements and graphics. Once this is finished, go to the "File" menu, and click the "Save As" button. In the window that opens, select the file type "Word Templates", and the location of the template. Click the "Save" button.
Now when you need to open it, just select a template from the list.

Create and save MS-Word documents
There are several ways to create an MS-Word document:
7) You can open the desired folder in Explorer and, by right-clicking, in context menu Select New ⇒ Microsoft Word Document. Then enter a file name.
8) You can create a document by clicking on the button ("Create") on the "Standard" toolbar.
9) You can use the MS-Word menu command “File ⇒ New. . .". If the first two methods only directly create a document, then the latter is the most flexible tool, since it allows you to use various additional parameters.
After selecting the menu command "File ⇒ New. . ." the dialog box shown in Figure 1.6 appears on the screen. In MS-Word 2003, when this command is selected, an additional panel opens on the right (Figure 1.7), with which you can call the window shown in Figure 1.6 by selecting the command “On my computer. . ." from the "Templates" section. In the lower right corner of the "Create Document" window, the type of document being created is indicated: document or template.
As mentioned earlier, a template is a special type of MS-Word file that has a "dot" extension. This type files is designed to store both various kinds of user settings, and, if necessary, some formatted text. Any MS-Word document is created based on one or another template (by default, the Normal.dot template is used, which corresponds to the New Document element in the window shown in Figure 1.6), while all the settings and text of the template are transferred to the document with exactly the same parameters and formatting as it is entered in the template.
Rice. 1.6 - Dialog box for creating MS-Word documents
The tabs of the dialog box (figure 1.6) contain the names of templates, grouped by the type of document created with its help. Yes, on the tab
"Notes" contains various options for designing a memo, on the "Reports" tab - options for designing reports, etc.
When you select one or another template, its design is loaded into the viewport1. To create a new document based on the selected template, just click the "OK" button. You can then make any necessary changes to the document.
To save a document or template to disk in MS-Word, there are two menu commands:
"File ⇒ Save" (accessible by pressing Ctrl+S): saves the document with the name that was previously assigned to the document. If the document has not been saved before, then this command works similarly to the command “File ⇒ Save as. . .»;
When using the File ⇒ Save As. . ." you can specify not only a new file name, but also its new disk location and format. Earlier it was said that MS-Word documents have a "doc" extension corresponding to MS-Word files. However, in some cases (for example, when you want to transfer a file to another PC, but you are not sure that MS-Word is installed on it), it is convenient to use a different document format. For example, the RTF format, which is supported by many word processors, including those running non-windows operating systems.
To save a document in a different format, specify the desired format in the "File Type" area (Figure 1.8), select a folder for saving, enter a file name and click the "Save" button.
1The "View" area is located in the right part of the window shown in Figure 1.6.
Rice. 1.8 - Saving a document in MS-Word
If saving a document requires creating new folder, then this can be easily done with the "Create Folder" command of the dialog box in question.
In order to open an MS-Word document, just double-click on the file name of the document in windows. However, if MS-Word is already running, a new document can be opened by calling the menu command "File ⇒ Open" (or by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+O). This will bring up a dialog box on the screen.
“Open Document”, which is functionally and outwardly very similar to the “Save Document” window shown in Figure 1.8. Next, you should find the desired directory, select the file of interest and click the "Open" button, after which the specified file will be loaded into MS-Word.
