Problem :
You want to create a new Microsoft Office document (for example, a Microsoft Word document or a Microsoft Excel workbook).
Solution :
To create documents in document libraries, use the New menu in the
toolbar. This opens the Office application and the template that was
specified by the manager of that document library. For example, if the
manager specified that the default template for a document library is a
Microsoft Excel template, Excel opens and creates a new file out of that
template.
When you are done authoring the document, click Save
in the application, and it is automatically saved in the folder that you
started from.
The
New button might offer more choices of templates if the manager
configured additional content types for the document library. If that is
the case, clicking the New button creates a new document based on the default content type’s template, but using the drop-down menu for the New button (see Figure 1) enables you to select other content types that may use different templates and different applications.
For example, the
content type Financial Presentation might use a Microsoft PowerPoint
template, and the content type Financial Report may use a Microsoft
Excel template, whereas Financial Review may use a Microsoft Word
template.
