in word most new projects begin the same
way with creating or opening a new blank
document all you have to do is go to the
backstage view and choose new if you
prefer to start from scratch go ahead
and click the thumbnail that says blank
document and you can get straight to
work but you can also start with a
template you'll find them in the very
same place in the backstage view a
template is a file that comes with its
own design and sometimes placeholders
for your content they make it easy to
create professional-looking documents
without a lot of time and effort you can
browse the ones you see here or you can
search for something specific if you see
a template you like just click to view a
preview then click the Create button
opening an existing document is also
very easy again you'll want to go to the
backstage view but this time click open

looking for is something you've worked
on recently it might be listed under
recent documents in fact you can pin
certain documents here so you always
have access to your most frequently used
files all you have to do is mouse over
the file then click the pushpin icon to
unpin it click the icon again you can
paint as many documents as you want if
