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
