Creating a Document
Once you have started Word, to create a document all
you have to do is start typing when the document
window appears on the screen. The text will begin at
the top left corner of the page.
After the window fills with text, the beginning of the
document will start to disappear off the top of the
document editing portion of the screen one line at a
time as you type.
When a page is filled, a new page will begin
automatically.
In Normal View a dotted line indicates where there
will be a page break in your printed document.
