Creating a Folder in Microsoft Word: A Step-By-Step Guide

 

In Word, how do you make a folder?

 

Folders are used to group together related documents on your computer storage. While working on a current Word document, Microsoft Word allows you to create a new folder.

You can make a folder in Microsoft Word using one of two methods:

 

Method 1: Using Save As dialog box

Using the Save As dialogue box in Microsoft Word, you can create a folder. To make a folder, simply follow the simple procedures outlined below.

Step 1: Begin by opening a new or existing Word document.

Step 2: In the upper left corner of the document, click on the File Tab. A choice of file options will appear; select the Save As option.




Step 3: On the screen, a Save As dialogue box will open. Navigate to the area where you want to create the folder and select the new folder button, as seen in the screenshot below.



Step 4: On the keyboard, type the name of the new folder and press the Enter key.



Step 5: To open the new folder, click the Open option.

Step 6: Save your document to the newly created folder by clicking the Save button.

 

 

Method 2: Using File Explorer, create a new folder in a Word document.

To make a new folder in File Explorer, follow the instructions below -

Step 1: Open the File Explorer by pressing Window logo + E keys from the keyboard.

Step 2: Navigate to the spot where you want to make a folder. Press Ctrl + Shift + N keys from the keyboard or click on the new folder option, as shown on the screenshot below.



Step 3: On the keyboard, type the name of the folder you wish to create and hit Enter.

 

Save your work in the recently made folder.

You can save your open Word document in the newly generated folder once it has been established.

To save your document in the newly formed folder, take the following actions:

  1. Open the new Word document.
  2. A list of file possibilities will show up on the screen when you click the File tab in the upper left corner of the screen. Click on the Save As option.
  3. Browse your new folder location. Click on the folder. Fill in the File name text box with the name of your document, then click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.

You can now see that your current document has been stored in the newly created folder.
