Opening a Document
Introduction:

When you work with Word, you will sometimes need to create a new document
from scratch (something you hopefully learned to do when we talked about
toolbars in a previous lesson); but, more often, you'll want to work on an
existing document that you or someone else has previously saved. This lesson
explains how to open, or retrieve, a saved document.


Magnification users;
Step 1. Click the "New" on the Standard toolbar .

For screen reader users;

*. Another way to open a file is to select File → Open from the menu, or
press Ctrl + O .

The Open dialog appears,

Step 2. Next, you have to tell Word where the file you want to open is
located. This usually  is the "My Documents folder".

(Moving to the list of files in my documents) Step 3. After you have clicked
on the "open dialogue you will be sitting in the filename box. Just use keys
"shift + the tab key" to do a reverse jump directly into the list of files
contained within the "My documents folder".

Note:Your computer stores information in files and folders, just like you
store information in a filing cabinet. To open a file, you must first find
and open the folder where it is saved. Normally new files are saved in a
folder named "My Documents," but sometimes you will want to save or open
files that are located in another folder. We call these folders, "sub
folders" meaning that the reside within a main folder such as "my documents"
which is the primary folder in windows for holding all your files and sub
folders.

To locate a sub folder within the "my documents folder"; 1. After pressing
"control + O" you will be sitting in the filename box.

2. Now press keys "shift + tab" to jump back into the my documents folder.

Step 3. Arrow up or down through  any list of folders you have here and then
press the enter key on it to open that folder in order to reveal its
contents.

Now lets find the file we used in previous lessons. You will have saved this
file under some name  of your own choosing so its that name we need to look
for when arrowing around in the My Documents folder.

Note: If you haven't saved a file in the past then just create one and save
it now.

That’s it, don't make it any more complicated than the above and take your
time practicing the above as also all the other lessons.
