Microsoft Word File Save Location

Summary

Onedrive and Word saving process

Body

Issue/Question

If I open the MS Word program, then click new document, the file save date is still my user folders.  Every other program, it is my One Drive.  After the first existing file is saved, the location switches to the one drive.  How do I get the location to point to one drive for new files?

Environment

  • Microsoft (MS) Word

Resolution

The first time you save to Onedrive on your computer, it will save to the computer first and then upload the document to Onedrive.  If you then open the document from Onedrive, it will automatically sync it to Onedrive when you save
