Using Word: Apply It 1

  • Create a new Word document
  • Save a file in Word
  • Distinguish different file types in Word and when to use them
As a college student you will most likely need to create and submit documents for your assignments. Let’s build a document that you can use to submit your assignment for this module.Step 1: Create a blank Word document and name it LastName_Assignment

Step 2: Rename the document to be LastName_Memo

If you’re using Google Docs to create and write documents, there is an option in the File Menu to “Download As” a .docx Word Document file.

The image shows a blank open document in Google Docs. The screen is displaying the 'Download' menu which is expanded, showing options to download the document in different file formats: Microsoft Word (.docx), OpenDocument Format (.odt), Rich Text Format (.rtf), and PDF Document (.pdf).
Google Docs can be downloaded as .docx files.

Hang onto this Memo document so that we can continue to build on it throughout this module. By the time you’ve finished the last section, your assignment will be complete and ready to submit!
