Byte Size Tips: How to Bypass the Backstage View When Saving New Files in Office 2013

When you save a new document in Office 2013, the Backstage view displays, providing the option to save the document to SkyDrive or to your computer. If you don’t use SkyDrive, you can can bypass this screen and always save to your computer.

Word 2013, Excel 2013, and PowerPoint 2013 can all be configured to skip the Backstage view (pictured above) and directly open the Save As dialog box when selecting either Save or Save As to save a new file. We will show you how to do this in Word. The procedure is the same in Excel and PowerPoint.

To disable this setting, click the FILE tab.
