Make a working copy of your document

- [Instructor] Not many people are aware…that there are a number of different ways…to open a document here in Word.…For example, you might want to work on a copy…of an original document, so as not to make changes to it,…but rather have a working copy.…Or perhaps you just wanna open up a version…of your document without making changes to it,…make it read only, or protected.…These are all options we're going to explore…in this week's Word tip.…As you can see, I have nothing open right now,…we're gonna go up to the file tab…and open up a document.…
