Your document (whether it’s blank or already has content) is listed in this side panel as “Tab 1.” Click Tab 1 and it will expand down to list any headings that are in your document.

To make a new document, click the blank page with the multicolored Addition sign inside it, which is located on the upper-left side of the main Google Docs page.

Alternatively, you can also save the document directly to your PC hard drive: To do this, click on File > Save as > Download a copy. The file will then be saved in the download folder.

Launch Pages and you immediately get an Open dialog which includes a New Document button. Click that and a blank new document opens up, ready for you to write in.
