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?

I had researched online about my problem with Microsoft 365 not "seeing" my flash drive before I posted on RV.net.
My files are not corrupted because I can OPEN and SAVE them on my husband's computer which has Office 2016. I can then SAVE them to ONE DRIVE, and access them on my computer with Office 365.
When I use 365 on my computer, my document is automatically saved to the cloud as I type, but I've never seen an opportunity to give my document a name!
I do our taxes with TURBO TAX and I can OPEN last year's taxes on the flash drive and SAVE this year's tax files on it.
I appreciate you taking time to respond to my problem! I will probably purchase Microsoft 2019 and give up on 365.
I believe if I remember correctly there IS a way to stop Office 365 from automatically saving to the cloud.. I bumped across that somewhere, if you did a internet search using "stopping office 365 from saving to the cloud" I suspect you will find your answer on breaking that bad habit.. Oh, sure 365 will whine about not having "features" and you will no longer have "auto save" but in the end, it is YOUR documents and not MS's..
MS WANTS everything to be "in the cloud" for some reason and you might want to do your homework on Office 2019, it to may have the same issue and you may need to "opt out" of that feature..
You should also be able to buy an additional Office 2016 license and use the existing media to install it instead of buying 2019..
