Question :
My child has used my Mac and MS Office on it to login to their Microsoft Account to be able to use my printer. Now, when I want to save something in MS Office on my Mac, it is connecting to my child’s school OneDrive…

How do I switch the account back to my own Microsoft Account ?


Answer :
To switch the Microsoft Account from MS Office365 (mainly used for school and business accounts) to Office 2021 for Mac (mainly for private use), do this :
– open Word
– in the top menu bar, click on ‘Word’
– in the pulldown menu that appears, click on ‘Sign Out’

When done, the ‘Sign Out’ option will disappear from the pull down menu, and no ‘Sign In’ option will appear there… so you need to use a different route :
– open Word
– in the top menu bar, click ‘File’
– in the pull down menu that appears, click on ‘New from Template…’
– in the new window that opens, click on the ‘Sign In’ button top-left
– now a login window will open where you can use various ways of signing in (if you have the MS Authenticator app on your iPhone, the easiest way is to select that option to login)
– when logged in, your name and initials will appear in the place where the ‘Sign In’ button used to be

That’s it !
enjoy 😉
