section which has
window controls at the
right end, as in other
Windows programs.
2. Note that a blank
document opens with a
default file name of
Document 1.

6. The Quick Access Toolbar
Located just above the Ribbon, the Quick Access Toolbar lets you
access common commands no matter which tab is selected. By
default, it shows the Save, Undo, and Redo commands, but you can
add other commands depending on your needs.

10. Each tab contains several groups of related commands. For example, the Font group on
the Home tab contains commands for formatting text in your document.

14. The File Tab
When you start a Microsoft Office program, or after you click
the File tab, you can see the Microsoft Office Backstage view. If you
need to create a new file, open an existing file, print, save, change
options or more, Backstage is the place to do it. In short, it is
everything that you do to a file that you don't do in the file.

15. Creating new files
To create a new file choose from one of the templates listed
across the top or click the New button to see a larger list of
available templates.
