I don’t understand what the starting point is. Do they just open a word document and start creating lines of code or is there some type of program that’s specifically used?

Basically, yes. Except you don’t use Word but Notepad (if you’re using Windows) or any other basic text editor. There are special programs and editors you can use for programming (called IDEs or Integrated Development Environments) that have all kinds of fancy tools that you might find useful once you start developing your skills and a preference for how you like to work, but notepad is perfectly fine for starters. I use a basic text editor too. I’ve tried various IDEs but I’ve found each of them to a pain in different ways so I’ve stuck with Kate (it’s a Notepad-on-steroids for Linux, it has a whole bunch of tools and features for different programming languages that can be enabled).
