MS Word 2016 Bangla Tutorial Part 2 File Menu

The file menu is one you will find yourself using extensively. It is used to create new documents, open existing documents and saving your new/updated documents. It also includes the page setup, print preview, and other important functions relating to your document and its properties.

New: This creates a new Microsoft Word document. The page setup of the new document, ie, the size, margins, etc, will depend on your page settings. 

Open: This opens an existing Microsoft Word document, it will open a file explorer window allowing you to navigate to the file you want to open. 

Close: This will close the current word document. Microsoft Word may prompt you to save the file, if you have made changes to the document since the last save. 

Save: Saves the current document, replacing the existing file (if previously saved). 

Save As: This allows you to save the document as a different file. This is very useful, imagine you open your letterhead template and write a letter that you want to save, if you just saved it (using the option above), it would replace your letterhead template. When you click on Save As you will be able to choose the new filename and location for your document. 

Save As Web Page: This option will save the current document with the HTM(L) extension, allowing it to be viewed by a web browser. 

Search: Clicking Search will open the basic search window, allowing you to search your computer for documents containing certain text.

Versions: This feature allows you to save different versions of the current Microsoft Word document. For example, if you changed your letterhead and wanted to keep the older version too. 

Web Page Preview: Clicking on this option will display your current document as it would look in a web browser. When you click, Microsoft Word will open the document in your default web browser. 

Page Setup: This opens the page setup options dialogue box. It allows you to set the properties (dimensions, margins, etc) of the current document and change the default for new Microsoft Word documents. 

Print Preview: Selecting this option opens the print preview window, allowing you to preview how your document will look when printed. 

Print: Opens the print dialogue box allowing you to print the current document. 

Send To: Hovering your mouse over this option will allow you to send your document via email, or export it to Microsoft Powerpoint (if installed). 


Properties: This will open the Microsoft Word document properties dialogue box, allowing you to view/edit various properties of the document. Including author information, statistics, type, location and file size of the document.
