Um, just write it!?

You don't have to do anything special, because if you're planning on getting it published, you send it to agents and publishers as a manuscript (A4 pages, double spaced in Times New Roman 11 or 12pt), not as a book!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Open the program, click on new document, it will open up a blank page!. Type!. When you are done, go to the top click on File!. A drop down menu will open up!. Click on Save As, and a new window will open, asking you if you want to save the document!. Give the document a name (it will be the first of two rectangular windows at the bottom of the window that opened!. The other leave as is!. I usually save my documents to the My Documents folder which should be the default when the Save As window opens!. If not, on the right you will have several icons, one of them will be Desktop!. If you are not very proficcient using a PC you can save to your Desktop, which is easily accesible from Windows!.
