How to create new document straight from dock?

Tags: Mac

Is there anyway to right click and create a new document directly from the dock icon for Word or Excel?

I’m tired of clocking the programme open and then using a shortcut or going up to ‘File’ the menu bar.

So if there was a programme/add on/anything… that would allow me to do it from the dock.

I’ve got ‘New File Menu’ which allows me to do this in finder and think it’s great!

Cheers

In Windows (note: you posted in the Windows forum), it’s a right click on the desktop, then choose New, then choose MS Word document. No need at all for a third party add-on.

Do I understand correctly that this can’t be done natively in Mac OS?

Thank you digger.

There are some technical issues on the forums once in a while, especially for moderators, for some reason, so I created a non-moderator account kbtr1 also and used quite regularly. So I wasn’t really gone.

But it’s nice to be welcomed back! Makes me feel welcome.

And let me use the occasion to thank you for flagging spam posts you see. Very helpful!
