Setting the default template
If you create a new Word document from the Desktop screen, Word uses the
built-in Blank document template. If you want to start documents on the
Desktop screen using a different template, create a template as before but type
the name Normal for the file. Word will use the Normal template if it exists,
but will otherwise use the blank template.
When you edit a Word file you are actually working on a copy of the file
stored in memory. When you close Word this file is automatically saved to
disk. If you do not specify a filename it will be called Word, and subsequent
files will be saved as Word(01), Word(02), and so on. To save a file using a
different name, or in a different folder, select More Save as on the File
menu.
To create a new Word file, use the command on the File menu and enter a
filename and folder. The current file is closed and automatically saved.
You can undo all changes since the last ‘save’ using Revert to saved on the
File menu. This will re-open the most recently saved version of the file.
Note! If you password-protect a file, it is immediately saved as password-
protected. If you revert to saved, you will need to enter the password for the
file.
When you create a new file, Word uses standard page settings to control how
your text will appear when printed. To change the page setup for the current
document, select Printing Page setup on the File menu; adjust the paper
size, orientation and margins as appropriate.
Page breaks
Word automatically fits text to the paper size and continues on to another page
where necessary. If you want to have more control over where new pages
start, you can insert your own page breaks and set page breaking options for
