Think of your digital document like a physical notebook page—it needs a size and margins to look consistent. You can set the Page Size (like A4), Margins (like 0.79 inches on all sides), and even a background color to make it your own!

Orientation defines how the page sits: choose Portrait for a vertically elongated page (like a standard letter) or Landscape for a horizontally elongated page (great for wide tables!).

Saving Your Work

How to save, Save As, and shortcuts.

While creating a document, you must save it at regular intervals so your changes are permanently stored. If you don't save, you lose your progress when the application closes!

Save vs. Save As

Save As: Choose this option when you are saving the file for the first time, or when you want to give a different name to an already saved file.
Save: Choose this option when you want to simply save the changes made in an already existing file.
