4. After creating the content of your document, select 

File

 > 

Download 

as

 and select the type of format you want to save as.

5. The file is saved to the 

download

 section of the

 app.

Opening Microsoft Office files using Microsoft’s Office 
Online apps from the Chrome Web Store or Google 
Play Store

Another option for working with Microsoft Office files is to use 
Microsoft’s own free web-based Office Online tools. You can 
download the Word Online, Excel Online, and PowerPoint Online 
apps from the Chrome Web Store or Google Play Store (you’ll need to 
create a Microsoft account if you don’t already have one). Then, you 
can login and create files or upload files you have already created and 
edit them. 

How to use your Chromebook when there’s no 

internet

The Chrome Web Store contains useful offline apps. For more 
information 

see Installing apps from Chrome Web Store on 

page 15

. You’re able to filter your app search by selecting the 

Runs 

Offline

 checkbox. For those times you don’t have an internet 

connection, these apps help you stay productive and entertained. A 
few of the pre-installed options are described below.

Note

Office Online programs save files you create exclusively to Micrsoft’s own 
OneDrive cloud storage. Though you can download a file you create and then 
move it to Google Drive or a removable storage device, you cannot save it 
directly to those locations. Also, to work on a file you’ve already created, you 
must first upload it to OneDrive by selecting 

Open from OneDrive

 from 

within whichever Office Online product you are using (you can install the 
OneDrive app from the Web Store as well).
