6. Working with Documents
After establishing the basics, take a deeper dive into each web app and discuss the features. For each one give enough time to practice.
Locate the document that was created in the OneDrive in the introductory section and double click it to open. If it is open, close it and show how to open it.
Have everyone practice opening the document from OneDrive because they need to realize that every time they open a document, they will need to always open as read only and will always need to select “Edit Document” and select “Word Online.”
Some important background information can be found here on the differences between using a document in the browser and in Word.
