Hello, The response Steve gave is exactly what I wanted. To bring up an edit box into which I can type a text file name. This is a file that was not recently opened by WORD. Steve has 1 mistake. the"alt, f" should be alt together with f. To get to the WORD Options: alt+f t arrow down to the "save" tab tab 7 times to back stage activate the check box ESCAPE (to quit) or ENTER (to save settings and quit). I still get: back stage view no open document when starting WORD. I have to press ESCAPE to get: document 1, print view, edit Then the ctrl+o brings up the familiar File Name edit box.
