To quickly create a new document, you can use a desktop shortcut:
- Right-click on an empty area of the Windows desktop.
- Click on New
- Click on the program that you want to start

My preference is to put shortcuts to all my applications (well, the ones I tend to use the most) on the Quick Launch toolbar. One mouse click and you’re in.

Jason: Thanks for the comment. I use the Quick Launch toolbar for my favourites too.
I find the desktop shortcut most useful when I’m working in my second monitor, away from the Windows Taskbar.
