An empty document window will appear after opening Word. Shortcut menus are provided when you select data from the spreadsheet and hold the right mouse button down. Shortcut menus contain the most often used commands for the current selection. The button bar beneath the menu options also gives you quick and easy access to various menu operations, such as spell check, print preview and print, save, cut, copy, and paste. When you place your mouse arrow on a button on the button bar and wait a second.
Word displays a message that describes the function of that button.
You may start a new document by choosing New under File . If you wish to open an existing Word file you may do so by choosing Open under File . If using Windows, make sure you select your drive by clicking on the arrows that appear in the drive box until you see the letter designating the drive which holds your disk. Click on that drive letter, then select by name the file you wish to edit. Several Word files may be open at once.
