Navigate to Office > New to create a document (this requires permission to create documents in Office). Give it a File Name and choose a destination Folder, then click the tile for the type you want.
The Create section makes a new Document, Spreadsheet, or Presentation. Below it, an Open Document Format section makes the same three kinds of file in the open standard used by other office suites - useful if you or the people you share with prefer that format.
PDFs are handled separately, further down the New page: choose a folder and upload the PDF you want to work with. It uploads and opens straight in the editor in one step, ready to view, annotate, and fill in.
Whichever type you create, it opens ready to edit in a new browser tab, so the New page stays put and you can start another one right away.
