I am trying to help a student. She has .edu in her email address and is trying to use Word 365. She has logged on, but when she tries to open a new document, she gets the following error:




Sorry, we couldn't create your new document
You can try again in a few minutes or go to OneDrive for Business now




What is the proper way for a student to open a new document? When she chooses OneDrive for Business, it does open a new document. But, since she's a student, not a business, I don't know how successful that will be, or if that is the proper direction.

This could be a number of different things. Though she opened it on another system you indicated it Word client - and not the online version so issues may still exists. I would recommend trying these steps if you encounter it again.




  1. Try different browsers to rule out application issues.

  2. Try opening it the same way on different system to rule out profile issues or computer issues.

  3. Try taking the content of the document and pasting it into a new document to rule out file issues.


If it's number 1 or 2, than additional assistance may be required from IT support. Anything from corrupt profile, to malware could be your issues.



If it's 3 - this happens occasionally where a document appears to work in word desktop client - but has some type of corruption in it and the web version can't handle it. The web version of word is not as tolerant to file issues as the desktop client is.
