PERFORMING COMPUTER OPERATIONS /
Creating, Opening, Saving and Sharing Documents
Word files are called documents. Whenever you start a new project in Word, you'll
need to create a new document, which can either be blank or from a template. You'll also need
to know how to open an existing document. When you create a new document in Word, you'll
need to know how to save it so you can access and edit it later. As with previous versions of
Word, you can save files to your computer. If you prefer, you can also save files to the
cloud using OneDrive. You can even export and share documents directly from Word.
What’s New
Directions: Study the pictures below and answer the following questions.
1. Describe what is in the picture.

2. Is it necessary to know how Microsoft Word works?
3. In your own idea, how can Microsoft Word be helpful for you?
4. What is the importance of saving your file?
What is It
TO CREATE A NEW BLANK DOCUMENT:

When beginning a new project in Word, you'll often want to start with a new blank
document.
1. Select the File tab to access Backstage view.
2. Select New, then click Blank document.
3. A new blank document will appear.
TO CREATE A NEW DOCUMENT FROM A TEMPLATE:
A template is a predesigned document you can use to create a new document

quickly. Templates often include custom formatting and designs, so they can save you
a lot of time and effort when starting a new project.
1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view, then select New.
2. Several templates will appear below the Blank document option. You can also use the
search bar to find something more specific. In our example, we'll search for
a flyer template.
3. When you find something you like, select a template to preview it.
4. A preview of the template will appear. Click Create to use the selected template.
5. A new document will appear with the selected template.

NOTE: You can also browse templates by category after performing a search.
TO OPEN AN EXISTING DOCUMENT:

In addition to creating new documents, you'll often need to open a document that was
previously saved.
1. Navigate to Backstage view, then click Open.
2. Select This PC, then click Browse. Alternatively, you can choose OneDrive
to open files stored on your OneDrive.
3. The Open dialog box will appear. Locate and select your document, then click Open.
4. The selected document will appear.

TO PIN A DOCUMENT:
If you frequently work with the same document, you can pin it to Backstage view for
quick access.
1. Navigate to Backstage view, click Open, and then select Recent.
2. A list of recently edited documents will appear. Hover the
mouse over
the document you want to pin, then click the pushpin icon.
3. The document will stay in Recent documents list until it is unpinned. To
unpin a
document, click the pushpin icon again.
COMPATIBILITY MODE
Sometimes you may need to work with documents that were created in earlier
versions of Microsoft Word, such as Word 2010 or Word 2007. When you open
these types of documents, they will appear in Compatibility Mode.
Compatibility Mode disables certain features, so you'll only be able to

access commands found in the program that was used to create the document. For
example, if you open a document created in Word 2007 you can only use tabs and
commands found in Word 2007.
In the image below, you can see how Compatibility Mode can affect which
commands are available. Because the document on the left is in Compatibility
Mode, it only shows commands that were available in Word 2007.
To exit Compatibility Mode, you'll need to convert the document to the current
version type. However, if you're collaborating with others who only have access to an
earlier version of Word, it's best to leave the document in Compatibility Mode so the
format will not change.
TO CONVERT A DOCUMENT:
If you want access to all Word 2016 features, you can convert the document to the
2016 file format.
1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view, then locate and select
the Convert command.
\
2. A dialog box will appear. Click OK to confirm the file upgrade.
3. The document will be converted to the newest file type.

SAVE AND SAVE AS
Word offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. These options
work in similar ways, with a few important differences.
 Save: When you create or edit a document, you'll use the Save command
to save your
changes. You'll use this command most of the time. When you save a
file, you'll only
need to choose a file name and location the first time. After that, you
can click the
Save command to save it with the same name and location.
 Save As: You'll use this command to create a copy of a document while
keeping the
original. When you use Save As, you'll need to choose a different name
and/or location
for the copied version.
ABOUT ONEDRIVE
Most features in Microsoft Office, including Word, are geared toward
saving and
sharing documents online. This is done with OneDrive, which is an online
storage space for your documents and files. If you want to use OneDrive, make
sure you’re signed in to Word with your Microsoft account.
TO SAVE A DOCUMENT:
It's important to save your document whenever you start a new project or make
changes
to an existing one. Saving early and often can prevent your work from being lost.
You'll also need to pay close attention to where you save the document so it will
be easy to find later.
1. Locate and select the Save command on the Quick Access Toolbar.
2. If you're saving the file for the first time, the Save As pane will appear in
the Backstage view.
3. You'll then need to choose where to save the file and give it a file name.
Click Browse to select a location on your computer. Alternatively, you can
click OneDrive to save the file to your OneDrive.
4. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to save the
document.
5. Enter a file name for the document, then click Save.
6. The document will be saved. You can click the Save command again to save your
changes as you modify the document.
NOTE: You can also access the Save command by pressing Ctrl+S on your keyboard.
USING SAVE AS TO MAKE A COPY
If you want to save a different version of a document while keeping the original,
you can create a copy. For example, if you have a file named Sales Report, you
could save it as Sales Report 2 so you'll be able to edit the new file and still refer back
to the original version.
TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT SAVE LOCATION:
If you don't want to use OneDrive, you may be frustrated that OneDrive is selected
as the default location when saving. If you find this inconvenient, you can change
the default save location so This PC is selected by default.
1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view.
2. Click Options.
3. The Word Options dialog box will appear. Select Save on the left, check the
box next to Save to Computer by default, then click OK. The default
save location will be changed.
AUTORECOVER
Word automatically saves your documents to a temporary folder while you are
working on them. If you forget to save your changes or if Word crashes, you can
restore the file using AutoRecover.
TO USE AUTORECOVER:
1. Open Word. If autosaved versions of a file are found, the Document Recovery
pane will appear on the left.
2. Click to open an available file. The document will be recovered.
By default, Word autosaves every 10 minutes. If you are editing a document

for less than 10 minutes, Word may not create an autosaved version.
If you don't see the file you need, you can browse all autosaved
files from Backstage view. Select the File tab, click Manage Versions, then choose
Recover Unsaved Documents.
EXPORTING DOCUMENTS
By default, Word documents are saved in the .docx file type. However, there
may be times when you need to use another file type, such as a PDF or Word 97-2003
document. It’s easy to export your document from Word to a variety of file types.
TO EXPORT A DOCUMENT AS A PDF FILE:
Exporting your document as an Adobe Acrobat document, commonly known as

a PDF file, can be especially useful if you're sharing a document with someone who
does not have Word. A PDF file will make it possible for recipients to view—but not
edit—the content of your document.
1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view, choose Export, then select
Create PDF/XPS.
2. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to
export the document, enter a file name, then click Publish.
NOTE: If you need to edit a PDF file, Word allows you to convert a PDF file into an editable
document.
TO EXPORT A DOCUMENT TO OTHER FILE TYPES:

You may also find it helpful to export your document to other file types, such as
a Word 97-2003 Document if you need to share with people using an older version of
Word or as a .txt file if you need a plain-text version of your document.
1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view, choose Export, then select
Change File Type.
2. Select a file type, then click Save As.
3. The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you
want to export the document, enter a file name, then click Save.
NOTE: You can also use the Save as type drop-down menu in the Save As dialog box to save
documents to a variety of file types.
SHARING DOCUMENTS
Word makes it easy to share and collaborate on documents using OneDrive.
In the past, if you wanted to share a file with someone you could send it as an email
attachment. While convenient, this system also creates multiple versions of the same
file, which can be difficult to organize.
When you share a document from Word, you're actually giving others
access to the exact same file. This lets you and the people you share with
edit the same document without having to keep track of multiple versions.
In order to share a document, it must first be saved to your OneDrive.
TO SHARE A DOCUMENT:
1. Click the File tab to access Backstage view, then click Share.
2. The Share pane will appear.
