Working with documents
Whether you are creating a spreadsheet, writing a letter, or drawing a picture, you are working with a document (file). The basic methods of creating, saving, opening, and printing a document apply to most programs.
The following examples illustrate the concepts for creating, saving, opening, and printing a document in Microsoft® Word. Though the examples use Microsoft Word, similar procedures apply to other programs such as Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Works, and Microsoft Publisher.
For more information about using a program, select Help on the menu bar.
