I purchased a different computer. I have loaded Word into the new computer. I
want to take all my word documents, at once, perferred andmove them to my new
computer. How do I do this.

1. Copy them from their locations on your old computer to the new one. Use
your file manager (like Windows Explorer or My Computer) to copy them onto
floppies or CDs or DVDs or between drives if you've got your computer on a
network.

2. Make sure that in Word on your new computer, Tools>Options>File
locations>Documents is set to the correct location (wherever you copied your
files to).
