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.
