Starting on a New Blank Document: Word

You do not have to confine yourself to working in one document at a time. You can have as many documents open as your computer's memory allows. In most cases, this means more than you will ever need.

Let us try to start a couple of new documents, so you can get an idea of your options.

1. Click on the Office Button in the top left corner of the screen.
2. Click on New.
3. Select the group Blank and Recent and highlight the Template Blank Document.
4. Create a new document either by double-clicking the Template or by clicking the Create button, bottom right.

You have now created an additional document, so you now have two documents. You can switch between them via the Windows Taskbar at the bottom, where there will be a button for each document.
 

The Taskbar with the two documents

Both documents are quite boring and completely blank since you have not written anything yet. But before you start writing, I want you to try one of the many Templates.
