The File menu
The File menu contains commands for opening, saving, printing, and closing
a file. In Word, a file is called a
document. In Excel, a file is called a workbook.
In PowerPoint, a file is called a presentation. In Access, a file is called a database.
In previous versions of Office, the File menu was clearly labeled File. In Office
2007, the File menu appears when you click the Office Button in the upper-left
corner (refer to Figure 1-2).
You can display the File menu by clicking the Office Button or by pressing Alt+F.
Creating a new file
When you first load an Office 2007 program, it automatically creates an
empty file for you to use right away. In case you need to create a new file after
you’ve already loaded an Office 2007 program, follow these steps:
1. Click the Office Button.
A drop-down menu appears, as shown in Figure 1-3.
