There is a check box here and it is checked by default, so uncheck it to stop seeing the Backstage View and go straight to a blank document. This is not referring to the Windows 8 Start Screen. Also, it is located near the bottom of the Start uUp Options menu.

Or, to save a new document and assign it a name, press enter on the Save As option, and it will say saving features, go down to computer, and you will get an edit field to type in the name that you want to give to the document. Then, simply tab down to the Save button and press enter. If you do not want to save the document to the default folder, usually the Documents folder, then in the edit field, type in the path to where you want the document saved, such as: c:\archives\document name. > > Mike > mike....@comcast.net > > sss > > -----Original Message----- From: Dacia Cole > Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2015 6:18 PM > To: jaws-users-list > Subject: [JAWS-Users] questions about Word 2013 > > Hi, > > I have several questions about Word 2013.
