Backstage View
Updated: 08/03/2018 by Computer Hope
In Microsoft Office applications (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) versions 2007 and later, there is an option for the Backstage View allowing you to manipulate aspects of a file. Backstage View is accessible by clicking the "File" tab near the top-left of the application window. The backstage view provides access to saving, opening, info about the currently open file (Permissions, Sharing, and Versions), creating a new file, printing, and recently opened files.
The Backstage View also provides some information (properties) about the file, including the following.
- file size
- number of pages and words
- creation date
- last modified date
- author
