A blank Word document

When you open Word, you see a blank document. It looks like a sheet of paper, and it takes up most of the space on the screen.

You need to get to work, but being new to Word, you may wonder how to get started. Where do you begin to type on a page? If you want to indent the first line in a paragraph, how do you do that?

Let's begin by helping you get comfortable with some Word basics.
