Background

You can create a number of different types of document in Office 365. This article uses Word as an example, but PowerPoint and Excel documents are created in a very similar way.

Step-by-step guide

  1. From the home screen, click/tap on New (in the 'Your recent online documents' section).
     
  2. Click/tap the kind of document you would like to create:
  3. Click/tap New blank document or one of the templates. This will create a new, blank document.

    then press ENTER.

The great thing about Office 365 is that it will save your work as you go:

You won't need to deliberately save the document. However, you can use Save As on the File menu to save a copy of your work with a different name.
