File Menu

Word comes equipped with a File menu (like almost all other Mac programs), which is mainly used for working with files on your hard drive—whether that’s creating new files, saving them, or printing them.

Project Gallery, New Blank Document, Open, Open Recent, Close, Save, Save As

These commands work just as they do in Excel.

Save as Web Page

These commands work just as they do in Excel.

Print Preview
