STARTING, ENTERING TEXT IN, AND SAVING DOCUMENTS

When Word 2016 is started, you can either open an existing document or you may create a new document. Whenever a new document is created or you wish to input characters in a template, a blinking cursor will indicate where the next character that is to be entered will appear. Upon reaching the right margin, the next character or text that you are inputting will move to the following line.

Whenever you have created a document, that document is temporary, this is indicated by the file name Document 1. You will need to save the document in order for it to become permanent. There are a number of places where you can save your document. However, in order to choose the best location, you need to know how you will be using the document. You can save your document at the following locations:

One-Drive

A folder on the computer

If you will be travelling and wants access to your documents, you may save it online.
