Post subject:  How to add SkyDrive as an Open/Save Location in Office

You are able to use the special folder containing your SkyDrive files and folders in your Office applications (Word/Excel/PowerPoint).

If you have not moved your I: drive to your SkyDrive yet, please follow the steps in this article: http://www.gcschools.net/tech/bb/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=367

To add your SkyDrive as a location, open any of the Office applications. We are using Word in this example.

Open Word.

Click File, Open. From the menu that appears, select Add a place:

Your open menu (and save menu) will now contain a new location named Greeneville City Schools. This is your Office 365 SkyDrive. You may have a personal SkyDrive or one you created on another project. That SkyDrive is COMPLETELY separated from your Office 365 SkyDrive. You ALWAYS want to save to your Greeneville City Schools location:

Once you click Greeneville City Schools, you may click Browse at the bottom of the list to locate your files:

When you click Browse, you will be shown a list of locations. In the left pane of the window that opens, click on SharePoint (I know this is confusing, but SharePoint here is your SkyDrive):

The document libraries you are syncing to your computer will be shown. In this picture, my SkyDrive is named Administrator. I am also syncing another document library (more on that in another article). Click the only link, or the one containing the file(s) you want to open or save:
