About creating new documents while you're offline

You can create new documents while you're not on your network. However, you will need to save these documents locally until the next you're connected. By default, the Save As dialog box prompts you to save the new document to your local "Documents" folder. Later, when you connect again, you can add the new document to the SharePoint workspace.
