Creating, opening, and saving files works the same way across Office apps.

To create a file, just open an Office app and select a blank document, or one of the many Office templates.

Then add some information and save your file. 

You can choose to save it on your computer.

Or save it in the cloud with OneDrive, to share and collaborate with others, and get to your files from anywhere – on your computer, tablet, or phone.

After you save your file, you can open it in File Explorer or within the Office app, in the Recent list.

And with the Office mobile apps on your phone or tablet, you can even create, open, and save files on the go.
