How to Create a New Folder While Working in Microsoft Word

1. Click "File" and "Save as." The "Save as" dialog box appears.
2. Look in the upper-right corner of the "Save as" dialog box. The folder with a star burst is the button to create a "New Folder." Before clicking on the "New Folder" icon, look at the directory and drive that is open. If this is the location where you want to create a new folder, then skip to Step 4. If you want to create the new folder in a different directory or drive, then go to Step 3.
3. Consider where you want to create the new folder. On the top of the "Save as" dialog box is a "Save in" box that indicates what folder or directory is currently open. To change that location to another folder or directory, click the down arrow at the end of the "Save in" box and then choose the new location. You can also click on the "Up one level" icon, which is depicted in the upper-right portion of the dialog box as a file folder with a blue arrow.
4. Click the "New Folder" icon button and the "New Folder" dialog box appears with an open box into which to type the desired name for the new folder. After typing in the new folder name, click "OK." The "Save as" dialog will then display the new folder as the save-as location.
5. Enter the name for the document and then click "Save" to save the file in the folder.
