A Word document can be opened in a few different ways, depending on the device.
-PCs: On PCs, you can open a Word document by finding the document in File Explorer and double-clicking on it, or right-clicking and selecting “Open”. You can also search for the document in the search bar in the Start menu if you can’t find it in File Explorer.
-Macs: On Macs, you can open a Word document by using the Spotlight search, which can be accessed by clicking the magnifying glass icon in the top-right corner of the desktop. You can also find the document in Finder and double-click it to open it.
-Online Applications: If you have an Office 365 account, you can open the document in a web browser using either the Word app or the Word Online app.
-Smartphones and Tablets: On some smartphones and tablets, you may be able to open the Word document if you have the Microsoft Word app installed. To do this, open the Word app, then select the document from the list of recent documents or find it in your device’s file explorer.
No matter what device you are using, when you open the Word document you should see the familiar Word interface including menus, ribbon, and a toolbar. From here, you can navigate through the document, edit the text, and format the document to make it look the way you want.
