M365 OneDrive (How To) Create Documents from OneDrive

Microsoft allows license holders to create and edit documents from anywhere using OneDrive. Users can create Word documents, Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations, and OneNote notebooks from within OneDrive, which will then be available across all of your devices.

  1. To create an Office document using Microsoft 365, log into the Microsoft 365 Portal (https://portal.office.com/Home) using your UWM email address and password.

  2. Choose OneDrive from the apps menu.

  3. Click New on the bar at the top of the page, and then choose the type of file you want to create.

Note: When you tap or click a Microsoft 365 document on the OneDrive website, it automatically opens in Microsoft 365 Online. Additionally, the Microsoft 365 Online apps preserve your document formatting, so you can make quick edits without worrying about messing up how the document looks.
