Starting
Microsoft Word, Creating New Documents, and Templates
Starting Microsoft Word is similar to starting any Microsoft
application. You can either choose the Microsoft Word icon in the Programs
menu of the Start menu, start it by double-clicking on the Word icon on
the desktop, or by doubleclicking on a .DOC document.
When Word XP opens, you will see a screen
similar to this one:
Click for a larger version
In the first 2/3 of the screen, you see a new document.
In the "New Document" pane, the last 1/3 of the screen, you
will see your most recently saved documents, options to create a new document,
and the New from Template options.
When you click on any of your most recently saved documents,
Microsoft Word XP will open them. If you click on one of the options under
"New", such as "Blank Document", Word will create
a blank document for you. Under Templates, if you choose "General
Templates...", you will be presented with the templates dialog box
which has several categories.
Take some time now to play around with the templates
and create new documents with them.
