Getting Down To Work - Microsoft Word

1.1. Documents

When you open Word® from the icon in your start menu, it will display a list of your recently created or edited documents and a choice to open a new blank document or use a template. 

Blank documents open with some standard page formatting in place to set margins, type style and paragraph and line spacing.  All of these features can be adjusted at any time. 

You can just begin typing in a blank document to see how it will look.  The document will automatically start a new line for you when it reaches the margin stop. 

Use the Enter key to start a new paragraph. 

If you need to go back and add a word or sentence to an earlier section of your document, move your mouse to the area where you want to insert some new text and left click to see the typing cursor appear.
