Have you used Word?  Using any word processor is similar.  To create a
new document in Writer, you just open Writer and type.  Then click on
FileSave as to save it.  If you want to save as a Word document, make
sure the appropriate file type is selected.

Hi :)
There are also video tutorials at:
http://spoken-tutorial.org/

and an FAQ at
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq

However if you do have a specific issue then please do let us know what the
specific question is!


One of the problems with Microsoft Office is that each different version
has a slightly different format so documents created with any one version
sometimes don't work properly in any other version.  Usually those still
work in LibreOffice but not always.

The best work-around is to ask the person who sent the document to resend
but using the old MS Office 2003/Xp/2000 format, Doc rather than DocX.
They should be able to do that by going to;
File - Save As
MS Office 2007 used a golden globe at the top left instead of the File
menu.

Hopefully something there helps!
Regards from
Tom :)
