    Where in the cloud? e.g., iCloud or OneDrive?

     

    For iCloud:

    • Open Finder and go to Finder menu Preferences. At the top of the Preferences window click Sidebar. Then in the Favorites section, place a check mark in front of iCloud Drive.
    • In Word you can then click File > Save and in the save dialog, iCloud Drive will show in the sidebar and you can click that to navigate to iCloud Drive.
    • Note that iCloud Drive keeps a local copy of the files on your Mac.


    For OneDrive:

    • In Word when you use File menu > Save you then click Online Locations in the save dialog. (This is in Office 2016 for Mac and may be different in other versions)

    I followed your steps but there is no iCloud drive to put a check in front of.  Now what?

    What version of OS X are you running on your Mac? I believe iCloud Drive requires Yosemite. See: iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
