Introduction

in Microsoft Word, the toolbar is the line of boxes and symbols that are shortcuts of many commands and appear across the top of the computer screen. It increases the working capacity of a user. We may recognize it by the picture of a file folder, scissors and paintbrush etc.

If the toolbar does not appear at the top of the screen, pull down the View menu in the Menu bar and select Tool Bar.

Creating a Document

To create a document we start word, a new document window opens.  This is a blank page, where we start typing. After the first page gets over, we automatically go to the next page.

Another method to create a new document is

1. On the File menu from Menu bar, click New.
2. Select the Blank Document in pull-down menu.

Save a document

When we save a document, the computer transfers the document from memory to a storage medium such as a hard disk or USB flash drive. A saved document is referred to as a file. We can save two different files with the same name if they are in different folders. In Microsoft word .doc is a file name extension by default. Filename extension represents a file type such as .bas for Basic source Code file, .htm for Hypertext Markup Language file, .bat for DOS batch file and .doc for word document file, etc.
