Choose the option that allows opening the same Word 365 file on two different local accounts at once and saves the latest version simultaneously.

It might be possible, though it isn't straightforward. Refer to the co-authoring guide for more details.

I just need to keep a word file open on one account for personal use and another on the work account. I work from home and can handle non-work tasks between calls. I want the document open on both accounts at all times so I can edit and save without constantly switching accounts.

I understand there are no alternatives within this context, such as using Teams or converting to a Google doc. Would something similar be available for you?

I could benefit from a cloud-based solution, though I’d rather maintain the file on the local hard drive. Uncertain if there’s a feasible way to achieve what you need.
