Creating New Documents

To create a new document from the library:

  1. In your browser, navigate to the library and choose New Document.

  2. SharePoint displays a security warning; choose OK.

  3. SharePoint starts Word and creates a new document based on the library's document template.

  4. Save the new document. SharePoint sets the save location to the SharePoint library. The new document won't appear in the library until you save it there.

You can view other documents in the library by choosing View → Task Pane.
