1
0:00:00,50 --> 0:00:02,40
- [Instructor] Well at some point, you'll want to create

2
0:00:02,40 --> 0:00:06,70
your own documents in Microsoft Word 2019

3
0:00:06,70 --> 0:00:08,20
and save your work.

4
0:00:08,20 --> 0:00:10,20
There are number of different options to explore.

5
0:00:10,20 --> 0:00:11,90
That's what we're going to do right now.

6
0:00:11,90 --> 0:00:14,80
If you close up the file you were working with as I did

7
0:00:14,80 --> 0:00:18,30
in the previous movie, you're left with this blank screen.

8
0:00:18,30 --> 0:00:20,60
Let's go up to File, because that's where we go

9
0:00:20,60 --> 0:00:22,40
to create new document.

10
0:00:22,40 --> 0:00:25,20
Select New here on the left hand side.

11
0:00:25,20 --> 0:00:28,20
This gives you access to a number of templates.

12
0:00:28,20 --> 0:00:30,80
And as you can see, there are featured templates

13
0:00:30,80 --> 0:00:33,10
selected down below including the first one.

14
0:00:33,10 --> 0:00:36,40
A blank document allows you to start from scratch

15
0:00:36,40 --> 0:00:38,30
but there are a number of other featured templates

16
0:00:38,30 --> 0:00:40,50
that will give you a head start creating things

17
0:00:40,50 --> 0:00:45,90
like resumes, cover letters, blog posts, reports and so on.

18
0:00:45,90 --> 0:00:49,30
There are also hundreds and thousands of templates online

19
0:00:49,30 --> 0:00:50,70
that you can search for

20
0:00:50,70 --> 0:00:54,30
either using the different suggested search categories,

21
0:00:54,30 --> 0:00:56,60
business, event, education, et cetera,

22
0:00:56,60 --> 0:00:59,90
or by clicking in the search field and simply typing.

23
0:00:59,90 --> 0:01:01,60
But we're gonna start from scratch

24
0:01:01,60 --> 0:01:03,20
by choosing blank document.

25
0:01:03,20 --> 0:01:06,10
One click is going to start your new document

26
0:01:06,10 --> 0:01:07,80
using the blank template

27
0:01:07,80 --> 0:01:09,70
that does have its own default settings.

28
0:01:09,70 --> 0:01:11,80
For example, you can see a cursor flashing here

29
0:01:11,80 --> 0:01:15,40
on this blank page about an inch down from the top

30
0:01:15,40 --> 0:01:17,30
and an inch from the left.

31
0:01:17,30 --> 0:01:21,30
The default margin sets you one inch all the way around.

32
0:01:21,30 --> 0:01:23,20
We're ready now to start typing.

33
0:01:23,20 --> 0:01:24,20
Notice up to the top,

34
0:01:24,20 --> 0:01:27,30
it simply says Document and then a number.

35
0:01:27,30 --> 0:01:30,50
Until we save our document and give it a name,

36
0:01:30,50 --> 0:01:32,30
that's what you're going to see at the top.

37
0:01:32,30 --> 0:01:37,20
So let's type in something like Tech Connect right there

38
0:01:37,20 --> 0:01:40,60
and press Enter to go down to the next line.

39
0:01:40,60 --> 0:01:42,60
Suddenly we've made changes.

40
0:01:42,60 --> 0:01:44,00
And if we were to close this up,

41
0:01:44,00 --> 0:01:46,40
we'd be prompted to save those changes.

42
0:01:46,40 --> 0:01:47,80
There are different ways to save

43
0:01:47,80 --> 0:01:50,20
and different Save options when doing so.

44
0:01:50,20 --> 0:01:51,00
Let's check them out.

45
0:01:51,00 --> 0:01:53,20
I go up to File.

46
0:01:53,20 --> 0:01:57,10
From here, you'll see two options, Save and Save As.

47
0:01:57,10 --> 0:02:00,80
Save is really just update, updating changes made

48
0:02:00,80 --> 0:02:03,30
to your document that's already been saved.

49
0:02:03,30 --> 0:02:06,70
But, if it has not been saved, and ours is not,

50
0:02:06,70 --> 0:02:10,20
you'll go directly to Save As when you click Save.

51
0:02:10,20 --> 0:02:12,40
Go ahead, give Save a click.

52
0:02:12,40 --> 0:02:15,00
You can see how Save As is highlighted.

53
0:02:15,00 --> 0:02:16,80
We first need to give this a name

54
0:02:16,80 --> 0:02:19,30
and choose a location to save it.

55
0:02:19,30 --> 0:02:21,70
You'll notice down the left hand side, different locations.

56
0:02:21,70 --> 0:02:23,30
You may see a different list than this

57
0:02:23,30 --> 0:02:25,70
if you're connected to SharePoint drives for example,

58
0:02:25,70 --> 0:02:29,00
in your organization network drives and so on.

59
0:02:29,00 --> 0:02:32,30
You can always use Browse as well to browse to a location

60
0:02:32,30 --> 0:02:34,40
or go to a recent location.

61
0:02:34,40 --> 0:02:36,80
For example, if I want to save this to the Desktop,

62
0:02:36,80 --> 0:02:39,00
it's one of my recent locations.

63
0:02:39,00 --> 0:02:41,10
If you don't see that, click Browse

64
0:02:41,10 --> 0:02:43,20
and browse to the Desktop,

65
0:02:43,20 --> 0:02:45,90
find it on the left hand side here at the top.

66
0:02:45,90 --> 0:02:48,60
Now down below is where we type in our file name

67
0:02:48,60 --> 0:02:50,20
but you'll notice that something is

68
0:02:50,20 --> 0:02:52,50
entered for you automatically.

69
0:02:52,50 --> 0:02:55,70
This is content that was typed in on that first line

70
0:02:55,70 --> 0:02:58,60
of our blank page, Tech Connect.

71
0:02:58,60 --> 0:03:01,80
If you're happy with that, all you have to do is click Save.

72
0:03:01,80 --> 0:03:04,80
If you're not, just go in here to make changes to it.

73
0:03:04,80 --> 0:03:07,80
I'm gonna go in here, click after Connect

74
0:03:07,80 --> 0:03:11,90
and add some numbers, 0102.

75
0:03:11,90 --> 0:03:15,60
Down below you can see the default Save as type option

76
0:03:15,60 --> 0:03:19,70
appears to be a Word Document with the docx extension.

77
0:03:19,70 --> 0:03:23,50
That's the XML base extension that has been around

78
0:03:23,50 --> 0:03:26,50
for several previous versions of Microsoft Word

79
0:03:26,50 --> 0:03:28,40
and continues to be the default.

80
0:03:28,40 --> 0:03:31,20
But, if you wanted to save you at different type,

81
0:03:31,20 --> 0:03:33,60
you can click this, it is a drop down,

82
0:03:33,60 --> 0:03:35,10
and see a number of different options

83
0:03:35,10 --> 0:03:38,10
like saving to older Word Documents.

84
0:03:38,10 --> 0:03:40,20
You're gonna be sharing this document with somebody

85
0:03:40,20 --> 0:03:42,30
and you're not sure if you have the latest version

86
0:03:42,30 --> 0:03:43,70
of Microsoft Word.

87
0:03:43,70 --> 0:03:47,60
They might be working with an older version, '97 to 2003,

88
0:03:47,60 --> 0:03:50,20
you can save it to that older format.

89
0:03:50,20 --> 0:03:52,80
You can save it to a PDF file.

90
0:03:52,80 --> 0:03:57,20
You can even save it to Web formats like HTML.

91
0:03:57,20 --> 0:03:59,00
Plain text formats as well.

92
0:03:59,00 --> 0:04:01,30
We're gonna leave it as Word Document.

93
0:04:01,30 --> 0:04:05,20
So with our location selected and our name,

94
0:04:05,20 --> 0:04:07,90
all we have to do now is click save.

95
0:04:07,90 --> 0:04:10,50
And we know it saved because up here at the top

96
0:04:10,50 --> 0:04:12,60
on the title bar, we see that name now

97
0:04:12,60 --> 0:04:14,70
instead of document and a number,

98
0:04:14,70 --> 0:04:18,40
we see the name of our file Tech Connect0102.

99
0:04:18,40 --> 0:04:20,90
Now we can continue adding to our document

100
0:04:20,90 --> 0:04:24,00
and simply updating it with that Save option.

101
0:04:24,00 --> 0:04:26,10
So let's type in something like this.

102
0:04:26,10 --> 0:04:28,40
I'm gonna hit the Caps Lock key on my keyboard

103
0:04:28,40 --> 0:04:35,20
and type in Connecting you to the latest technology

104
0:04:35,20 --> 0:04:38,20
and insider insights.

105
0:04:38,20 --> 0:04:40,30
Press Enter after that as well.

106
0:04:40,30 --> 0:04:44,00
So we've made changes to our document which has been saved.

107
0:04:44,00 --> 0:04:46,40
We can now go up to File

108
0:04:46,40 --> 0:04:47,90
and click Save.

109
0:04:47,90 --> 0:04:49,80
We won't see Save As this time.

110
0:04:49,80 --> 0:04:53,90
It's simply updated and saved with our new changes.

111
0:04:53,90 --> 0:04:56,20
The other option is to go directly to this area

112
0:04:56,20 --> 0:04:59,50
in the top left corner known as the Quick Access toolbar.

113
0:04:59,50 --> 0:05:01,10
The very first button that appears here

114
0:05:01,10 --> 0:05:02,90
by default is the Save button.

115
0:05:02,90 --> 0:05:06,80
Clicking this will also update your file with those changes.

116
0:05:06,80 --> 0:05:08,70
You may have noticed too hovering over that,

117
0:05:08,70 --> 0:05:11,30
there's a keyboard shortcut Control + S

118
0:05:11,30 --> 0:05:13,10
if you prefer to use that.

119
0:05:13,10 --> 0:05:15,60
Either way our document has been saved

120
0:05:15,60 --> 0:05:19,40
and we're ready to move on or close it up if we're finished.

121
0:05:19,40 --> 0:05:23,20
Let's go up to File and choose Close.

122
0:05:23,20 --> 0:05:25,00
If we're not prompted to save changes,

123
0:05:25,00 --> 0:05:26,80
we know that they were saved

124
0:05:26,80 --> 0:05:29,20
and it's stored in the location we specify,

125
0:05:29,20 --> 0:05:34,20
in our case, the Desktop.
