“File” tab of Microsoft Word as of my last knowledge update in September 2021. Please note that the layout and features of Microsoft Word can change over time, so there might be some updates or changes beyond that date.

Here’s a general overview of the options you typically find under the “File” tab in Microsoft Word:

New: This option allows you to create a new document. You can choose from various templates or start with a blank document.

 

MS Word Options in File Tab

Open: Use this option to open an existing Word document from your computer or cloud storage services like OneDrive or SharePoint.

Save: Click here to save the current document. If it’s a new document, you’ll be prompted to choose a location and name for the file. If it’s an existing document, it will save any changes you’ve made.

Save As: This option allows you to save a copy of the current document with a new name or in a different location or format. You can also change the file type (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .txt).

Print: Clicking on this option opens the Print dialog, where you can set up your printing preferences, such as the printer to use, the number of copies, and more.

Share: If you’re collaborating with others, you can use this option to share the document with them via email or by generating a shareable link to a cloud-based version of the file.

Export: This option allows you to export the document to different file formats, such as PDF or XPS. You can also create a document for distribution on the web.

Close: This option closes the current document but keeps Microsoft Word open.

Account: If you’re signed in with a Microsoft account, you can access your account settings, view your recent documents, and switch between different accounts or profiles.

Options: Here, you can access Word’s settings and preferences. This includes customization options for the user interface, proofing, and more.

Feedback: You can use this option to provide feedback directly to Microsoft about Word.

Exit: This option closes Microsoft Word completely.

Please keep in mind that the specific options and their locations may vary slightly depending on the version of Microsoft Word you’re using and any updates or changes made since my last knowledge update. It’s a good idea to explore these options in your current version to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
