    Saving Word Documents in 365


    I have a recently re-installed Windows 10 with all Updates. 2004 (OS Build 1904-508)

    When deciding whether to use my Office 2010 or not, I decided to take the plunge and purchase 365 Office.

    Part of the reason for the re-install was that my Files and Folders were in a total mess and I had lost all pre-installed Folders, ie Documents etc. and Word Docs were all over the place. I backed up everything on an external hard drive.

    Firstly, I got One Drive to import my most used Word Documents, it told me they were all empty, so I had to use my external hard drive to access and try and save on my PC in Documents Folder, however, somehow this is full of my empty files.

    I have tried to read up about changing where my 365 documents are saved, but in the list of recent documents my documents are showing as saved in 3 different places, One Drive, Personal One Drive and my external drive!! Each appears to have randomly saved without any input from me! Can someone please help I want all documents save on my PC and then backed up to One Drive Folder. I need them to go into a New Folder on One drive otherwise they just mingle in with all the empty folders/files.

    Whilst writing I have no idea what the 'Personal' folder is in One Drive.

    :)

    Printing Word Document

    Created a word document and saved it in Rich Text Format (.rtf). Will not print. Office 2007 program pops up and "suggests" I subscribe to Office 365. Just need to print or email this document....tried to convert to PDF, but is blocking my efforts.

    Can word processor documents be sent to desktop vs Documents folder

    Sure, you can save them wherever you want.

    In my old Office 2007, I open Word, click on File (button, top left) the Word Options button at bottom.

    Then click on the Save option at left and change the Default file location:

    I don't know the steps for other versions of Office but it should be similar.

    You can also use the File, Save as each time and select where you want to save a document.
