- QuestionWhat is the process of creating a file in a folder?Community AnswerOnce the folder is created, go into it and right-click on a blank area, then select New -> Microsoft Word Document.
- QuestionDo I save documents as a Word doc, or Word 97 — 2003?Community AnswerThis depends on what the reader(s) are using. Word 97 — 2003 format is more universal, but may strip some advanced features from your document. If you save it in Word format, those using earlier versions can still view/edit the document using the free MS Office Compatibility Pack from Microsoft. If you’re just creating the document for your own personal use, save as Word.
- QuestionHow do I see a saved document?Community AnswerOn any modern version of Windows, you would a view a saved document by navigating to its save location. For example, if you saved it in the default «My Documents» folder, you would open a file explorer window and locate that folder, where you would then find your document. Alternatively, recent versions of Microsoft Word show a list of recent documents when you open the program. Finally, you can click File, then Open on most versions of Microsoft Word, then navigate to the correct file location.
