Word has several menu options across the top of the page, and the first is the "File" option on the left. On the web app, if I click on "File," a drop-down menu appears with at least ten options, many of which expand when you hover over them. In the Microsoft Word app, the "File" tab takes you to a dashboard with even more menu options.
