The first time that you use Office 365 and the Microsoft Office Web Apps on a Chromebook, be sure to first access OneDrive BEFORE you try to create a new online Office document.

Occasionally if you try to create a new Microsoft Office online document, before you’ve access OneDrive at least once, you may run into problems doing so.  This is because occasionally OneDrive (the place where your Office document is trying to create itself in) is not yet ready to be used.

To be sure everything is going to ‘just work’, open OneDrive by clicking on the menu button and then click on ONEDRIVE.

If everything is fine OneDrive will open without any issues.

If you see a message like the one below, click on the OneDrive for Business button and, if asked, sign into this with your College email address and password.

OneDrive and the Microsoft Office Online web apps will load correctly. You only need to do this once.
