Have Word 2013 Open to a Document Instead of the Menu

Note that you will still be given the option to choose from the available document types if you create a new document while Word is already open. So if you actually do need to create a flyer or an invitation, then you can still create that type of document.   Step 1: Launch Word 2013, then select a document type.   Step 2: Click the File tab at the top-left corner of the window.

    Step 3: Click Options at the bottom of the column on the left side of the window.

    Step 4: Click the General option at the top of the column on the left side of the window.

    Step 5: Click the box to the left of Show the Start screen when this application starts to remove the check mark, then click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
