When you edit a Word file you are actually working on a copy of
the file stored in memory. When you close Word this file is
automatically saved to disk. If you do not specify a filename it will
be called Word, and subsequent files will be saved as Word(01),
Word(02), and so on. To save a file using a different name, or in a
different folder, select the Save as command from the More
commands on the File menu.
To create a new Word file, use the command on the File menu
and enter a filename and folder. The current file is closed and
automatically saved.
You can undo all changes since the last “save” using the Revert
to saved command on the File menu. This will re-open the
most recently saved version of the file.
Note: If you password-protect a file, it is immediately saved as
“password-protected”. If you revert to saved, you will need to
enter the password for the file.

How the page looks
When you create a new file, Word uses standard page settings to
control how your text will appear when printed. To change the
page setup for the current document, select the Page setup
command from the Printing commands on the File menu;
adjust the paper size, orientation and margins as appropriate.

Word automatically fits text to the paper size and continues on
to another page where necessary. If you want to have more
control over where new pages start, you can insert your own
page breaks and set page breaking options for individual
paragraphs.
To start a new page, place the cursor at the desired point
and select the Page break command from the Insert
menu, or hold down Ctrl and press Enter.
To define how Word prints a specific paragraph, place the cursor
in the relevant paragraph, or highlight several paragraphs, then
select the Line spacing command from the Paragraph menu.
You can select from the following:
‘Keep together to prevent a page break within the
paragraph.
‘Keep with next’ to ensure that a paragraph always appears
on the same page as the paragraph that follows it.
‘Start new page’ to ensure that a paragraph will always
appear at the top of a new page.
Allow as widow/orphan to let a single line at the beginning
or end of the paragraph appear on a separate page from the
remainder of the paragraph.
You can display where page breaks will occur in a file by selecting
the Paginate command from the Tools menu. The position of
each page break is then shown with a dotted line. Note that the
dotted lines are not automatically updated if you edit the
document further, so you will need to select the Paginate
command again if you wish to repaginate and update the position
of the dotted lines.

Headers and footers are pieces of text (e.g. page numbers or a
chapter title) which appear at the top and bottom of each page
of a printed file. To add a header or footer, select the Page
setup command from the Printing commands on the File
menu, and select the Header or Footer page in the dialog. Enter
your text in the box and format it as desired.
