Below is the structured text using Markdown syntax:

  1. To open a document that has already been created:

    • Press the FILE → OPEN button.
    • Choose a file to open by double-clicking on it or by right-clicking and choosing OPEN from the window that appears.
    • Use CTRL + O as a shortcut key.

    • Click the "X" in the window’s upper right corner.
    • Go to the FILE menu and choose the SAVE option to save a document.

  1. Get the Office app open.
  2. Choose a model.
    • To view the templates if you’re already in an app, choose FILE > NEW.
    • Choose [[Untitled]] > SAVE.
    • Instead, choose FILE > SAVE AS.
  3. Decide on a location for the file’s save.
    • OneDrive, your computer, or another location can be used for saving. If you want to be able to access your files on your phone, tablet, or computer from anywhere, save them to OneDrive.
  4. Type in a descriptive file name that makes sense.
  5. Choose SAVE.
  6. Take one of these actions:
    • Double-click the file in File Explorer, or use the context menu to select OPEN by right-clicking the file.
    • Select the file from the RECENT list by opening the Office application where you created it.
  1. Open the PDF in Word to make edits.
    • PDFs that are primarily text-based work best with this.
    • Word will not format PDFs of book chapters or anything that appears to be a copy of a manuscript properly.
  2. Go to OPEN under FILE.
  3. Locate the PDF file and click on it (you may need to use BROWSE to locate the file in a folder).
  4. Word informs you that it will duplicate the PDF file and restructure its contents into a Word-compatible format. Nothing will be done to the original PDF. Click OK.
  5. After editing, you can save it as a PDF or Word document. Select OK after selecting the document type from the SAVE AS dropdown menu in the SAVE menu.
  1. Press the "office button → Open" shortcut key to launch an already-open Word document (Ctrl+O).
  2. After selecting Open, double-click the file in the window that appears. The shortcut key to open an existing Word document is Ctrl+M.
