That's not ideal in my view. It should save it locally but automatically synch it at the next opportunity. You can do this today with offline folders, but of course that doesn't work over the internet or with Live Workspaces. Tim

I would suspect that for now, you would have to open that local document and save it again to the cloud once you got back online, but if there’s no connection, it seamlessly reverts to local.

Opened a document from Workspaces, made a change, disconnected from the internet, and hit "Save to Office Live". Word immediately opened the local My Documents folder and offered to save it there, just as if it was a local file.
