Hello. And my name is Catherine Smith. In this lesson, I will show you how to open the browser version of Word and then proceed to begin a new document, either by using a template or starting from a blank page. To access Word through a web browser, you must first go to Office, then sign into your free Microsoft account. If you use any Microsoft service, you should already have a sign in account. However, if you do not have a. Microsoft account, you can create a new. Account by selecting the no Account Create one link. You may use any email address to sign in. Once you successfully sign into Office, your browser may remember your credentials and bypass this step in the future. Once you have signed in, you will. Be taken to your Office welcome page. You will see the Create New option. For a number of Microsoft Web app. Activities appearing across the center of your screen. You will also see a link to the apps that you are able to access with your account. Running up and down the left sidebar. Notice the list of files that have been recently opened or created. You can simply click to open any of the documents. If you wish to hide a document from this listing, you may select the. More Options button and choose Hide. This will not permanently delete the file, but will hide it from the recently opened listing. For those documents that you would like to return to frequently or may have special importance, you may mark them with a favorite designation. This will enable you to choose Favorites. And display a listing of those documents. If it becomes necessary to access advanced Word features which are not included in Word for the Web, you may select. The More Options button and open the file in the Desktop app. This, of course, assumes you have purchased a subscription to Office 365 and have the desktop version installed on your computer. For the purposes of this course, we will be using the free browser version of Word. Once I select Word from the sidebar. You will see a few templates that. Represent efficiencies when creating certain types of documents. For example, if you need to set up an academic paper using APA or MLA formatting, if you need help creating a resume, or even if you just. Need to create a birthday gift certificate. There are templates which you may use. To streamline the process. You will also see a link to access more templates. Once you select a template, it will. Load onto your screen.
