Office 365 Questions
I purchased Microsoft Office 365 when I got a new computer after my laptop died. Why can't I open the Microsoft WORD documents that I had saved to flash drives?

Thanks for all the responses!
When I try to SAVE AS on my new computer with Microsoft 365, I have the following choices: 1. Save a copy online 2. Rename 3. Download as PDF 4. Download as ODT.
Yesterday, I wanted to print one of documents on my flash drive, so I used it on my husband's computer, and had no trouble opening it and printing the document. He has WORD 2016 Teacher and Student, which I had on my old laptop.
Something isn't right..
ODT files are Apache OPEN OFFICE document file format (say that twice fast).. SEE HERE for more details.
While MS Office can save ODT, it is not the "default" format of MS Office.. DOCx is the default of newer MS Office word docs.. The default may have been changed by accident..
You can save to PDF and print it if you like also..
Saving to One drive might be forced now days as MS wants everyone to use it.. I suspect that the default drive location may have gotten changed by accident like the file format.. But you should be able to change that also..
See HERE for detail on save as..
You should be able to select "This PC" instead of One Drive..
