Thank you for your input, which I do appreciate, but....
The original files are in subfolders within the OneDrive hierarchy. When I open them, AutoSave is off. When I turn it back on, it opens a little box asking me to select the folder to auto-save to, and the only option is the root OneDrive folder. This has happened consistently, regardless of what files I work with. I've used OneDrive to store my documents for years.
Note that, at least in my case, this is only happening on the laptop I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7. In Windows 7, the files always saved to the original folder and overwrote the original, as far as I can recall. On my Mac, AutoSave also saves to the original file location.
The laptop in question is a backup/portable system that I need to keep in sync with the desktop (the Mac).
I see no logical reason that we can't simply select the original folder location (which is already in OneDrive) when turning on AutoSave. I've taken to just ignoring AutoSave and going back to manually saving my work frequently as I go.
