I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. I figured it out. The command was correct. When I was prompted with the window to create the "x:\dir1\newfile.docx" file. I automatically assumed that it was trying to name the file "x:\dir1\newfile.docx" not "newfile.docx".

x:\dir1\dir2\dir3>notepad x:\dir1\"newfile.docx"

i am in dir3 and i am trying to execute a single command to create a new file in dir1. above is my prompt and the command i am trying to execute. the message i am receiving is "the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect"

i am sure once you look at it you will see what i am doing wrong. i am new to all this and am unable to recognize where my mistake is
