Click the New Blank Document button on the Standard toolbar.
Word opens a new document.
INTRODUCTION
Word presents a new, blank document each time you start the application. You can create another new document at any time. For example, after you save and close one document, you might want to begin a new one.
TIP
Default Document Names
The default filename for each new document increases sequentially (Document1, Document2, Document3, and so on). After you exit and restart Word, the numbers begin at 1 again.
