Yes. Choose to save documents you're working on to the external drive, and they will not be saved on your internal drive. Be careful, though, Microsoft Office does cache files locally, in case of a power failure or crash to save your progress, and these may possibly be recovered from an internal drive. Your external drive should be given a drive letter, D:, E:, F:, etc.
