I cannot change any Word 365 options because I keep getting the message: "The server location you entered for offline editing is not valid or you do not have permission to access that location. Specify a location on your computer." I don't even know what this is asking me to do.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows

Do the following: In the Run dialog box (hold the Windows logo key as you press R), type in regedit and click yes to the User Account Control prompt (if it is shown). For complete instructions on how to edit the registry, see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/server-drafts-location-is-blank-and-wont-let-me/672dc341-e96e-4668-aa9e-53beb9048a0d.

    Thanks! This was exactly what I was looking for. I'm surprised MS hasn't fixed this yet. It seems like a lot of people are coming up against it. Anyway, you're a pro!
