Creating or editing documents using Word Online

There is no specific “Save” button in the toolbar because documents are auto-saved. Editing them is just like when using MS Word.

Creating Word documents using Word Online

To manually save the created document, go to File > Save As. The options here are : to save locally as a Word document or to convert the document to PDF and then save it.

Saving documents through Word Online

The download location of these saved documents will be the same path that is set for Google Chrome downloads for other files. Also, if already signed in to OneDrive, the same document will be available there as well.
