How do I display the current document name at the top of the MS Word/Excel window instead of d.docs.live.net?

At the top of my MS Work/Excel window it used to show the current document name but now shows "d.docs.live.net Word", or sometimes just shows "Work". How can I change this back to show the document name? When I google the issue many solutions point me to the header/footer - Quick Parts option which just adds the filename to the header or footer, not the title bar of the window. Any other ideas?

Hi,

Where did you save the document?

It seems you save the file to OneDrive, I suggest you go to File- Options- Save- check the option "Save to Computer by default" and set the location.

Thanks Emi, I do try to save it to my hard drive but it seems it keeps trying to revert to Onedrive. I've made the selection in Options to save to the hard drive. It makes me select a default folder under Onedrive on my C drive. Does that make sense? I'm trying to understand this Onedrive thing but being a long time user of saving to the hard drive, it's been challenging for me.
