Click the Office button and choose New. In the dialog that appears, "New
from existing" is the fourth choice in the upper left corner.

Is there a way to add New from Existing to the Quick Access Toolbar? I
couldn't find it even in Customize--All Commands, although there were two
"New" items without explanation.

Thank you!

Not "New from existing" per se, but you can add the New Document dialog;
there are actually four commands: New, New…, New Blank Document, and New
Document or Template. “New” and “New Blank Document” both run the
FileNewDefault command, creating a new Blank Document (based on
Normal.dotm). “New…” opens the New Document dialog you get if you use Office
Button | New. And “New Document or Template” takes you directly to the
classic New dialog (accessed via My templates… in the New Document dialog)
that displays both the installed templates and your custom templates in the
classic tabbed New dialog.

Thank you, Suzanne! I already have New Blank Document on my Quick Launch
Toolbar; I'll look into the others.
