What is how to duplicate a word document?

There are several ways to duplicate a Word document:

• Using the "Save As" Function: This is the most straightforward method. Open the document you want to duplicate and go to File > Save As. In the "Save As" dialog box, choose a new name and location for the copy. This creates a complete, independent copy of your original file. The important thing is to save it with a different%20name to avoid overwriting the original.

• Copying and Pasting within File Explorer (or Finder on Mac): Locate the Word document in your file explorer. Right-click on the file and select "Copy". Then, in the same folder or a different one, right-click and select "Paste". This creates a duplicate file with "– Copy" appended to the original name. You can then rename the copied file as desired.

• Using the "Copy" Function within Word (Less Common): While less intuitive, you can theoretically select all the text within a document (Ctrl+A or Cmd+A), copy it (Ctrl+C or Cmd+C), and then paste it (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) into a new Word document. However, this may not perfectly preserve all formatting, especially if the document contains complex layouts, headers, footers, or embedded objects. So, it is not the best way to duplicate%20a%20Word%20document.

The "Save As" method is generally the most reliable for creating an exact replica of your Word document.
