sync google chrome with micro soft windows

Question

I have google chrome notebook. By me being a college student I was able to download Microsoft programs to my notebook. This was unusual. I would like to know how to sync my google chrome notebook which has Microsoft word ,etc, etc, to my home computer which is Micro soft all apps. When I type a document in word on my home computer it doesn't show up in my notebook. I don't understand why,  you see I type my college papers using my notebook, but I want to edit them in my other computer. But none of the documents appear on my home computer why can't I sync the documents? I am confused about sway

Hi Reginold,

You will have to use OneDrive in order to sync the documents across devices. You will have to log into the www.onedrive.com with the Microsoft Account and upload the documents.
