How do you create a new document in MS Word?
Creating a new document in Microsoft Word is straightforward. When you open the program, you’re usually greeted with a start screen. From there, look for an option that says "New" or "Blank Document"—it’s often front and center as a big tile or button. Click it, and you’ve got a fresh, empty document ready to go.
If you’re already working in Word and want another new document, head to the top left corner and click the "File" tab (or the Office button in older versions). This opens a menu—select "New" from the list on the left. You’ll see a few choices pop up, like templates for resumes or letters, but for a plain document, just pick "Blank Document" and hit "Create" (or double-click it, depending on your version). That’s it—a clean slate appears, and you can start typing away.
On newer versions with Microsoft 365, you might also spot a "New" button right on the ribbon at the top—same deal, click it and choose "Blank Document." Quick and simple either way.
