Sometimes I think about living in a quieter place, far from the city center. I’m not the only one who feels this way. In the end, the truth is that we all want to live in the new world. There’s no escaping it — we’re all so tired of this system. It's just a thought.

More or less. Nothing should prevent you from installing an app and trying it right now. You could sort your documents by filetype and try one of each. There generally shouldn't be any issues.

The life of a Christian takes steady effort, and Paul’s picture of a runner makes the point clear: you can’t move well if you’re carrying things you don’t need. Some burdens come with the territory — responsibility, compassion, the work Jehovah gives us — and those are worth holding onto. But other things creep in quietly and start to drag on us: habits, distractions, worries that take more than they give. The closer we get to the finish, the more important it becomes to notice what’s weighing us down and let it go, so we can keep moving with the strength and purpose Jehovah wants for us.

Click File Save As . . . To the right of the address where it is saving it, there is a "⌃" Select that, it will show all locations available. This is in Word version Version 16.102.3 (25110228), in office 365. I have disabled MS AI, so it is not forcing me at all. - That might be why my options are this way. How to disable co-pilot 👉 Mac (Desktop apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint) Open the Office app (e.g., Word). Go to Preferences (Mac). On Mac: go to Preferences → Authoring & Proofing Tools → Copilot, then uncheck “Enable Copilot”. Still in the app: go to Preferences → Privacy (Mac). Find the Connected Experiences section, and clear or uncheck “Turn on experiences that analyze your content” (or similar wording). Close the app and restart. The AI assistant (Copilot) should be disabled for that app on that device. Repeat for each Office app and device as needed.

Thank you Alex @Myew for your suggestions. Up to this year, the subscription was more than I paid for any other suite of apps, but it took a jump to $99 at renewal and it really made me think about cutting the umbilical. Often it's just a case of what we're used to and not making the change, but this OneDrive business is really getting my dander up. I've heard of all of your suggested alternatives with the exception of Onlyoffice. My concern is the years and years of accumulation of Word docs and whether I will have compatibility issues, not just for my theocratic vault of docs, but also personal and business finances and all things attached to those, when I have to open up something from the past. People must do it all the time, so my fears are probably unfounded.

I use the "older version" approach when dealing with Microsoft Office. Once purchased it is 'mine' on 'my computer'. And MS leaves me alone (so far).

Thursday, November 13 Throw off every weight.—Heb. 12:1. The Bible compares our life as Christians to a race. The runners who successfully cross the finish line are rewarded with everlasting life. (2 Tim. 4:7, 8) We need to make every effort to keep on running, especially because the finish line is closer than ever. The apostle Paul identified what will help us to win the race. He directed us to “throw off every weight and . . . run with endurance the race that is set before us.” Did Paul mean that there was no load a Christian should carry? No, that was not his point. Rather, he meant that we need to get rid of every unnecessary weight. This type of weight could hinder us and cause us to tire out. To endure, we must quickly identify and discard any unnecessary weight that could slow us down. At the same time, however, we do not want to cast aside loads that we should carry. Otherwise, we could disqualify ourselves from the race.—2 Tim. 2:5. w23.08 26 ¶1-2

I'm not actively familiar with MacOS, so I can't guide you, but you should be able to download the raw files from OneDrive's website or copy them from your synced cloud folder to another location/drive. What I can offer is an alternative. MS is only going to continue to get more intrusive, imposing their will on the hardware that you own if you agree to their terms, and buckle down on locking you into their ecosystem so that you pay them those subscription fees. You likely don't need to be paying them for their apps, there are several free and open source alternatives that do exactly the same thing. LibreOffice and OpenOffice are two of the most commonly recommended. LibreOffice comes default on many Linux operating systems. There is also OnlyOffice, which I believe is free but not open source? They do sell some products or something. However, it is designed specifically for compatibility with Word documents and with a very similar feel, it may be more what you're looking for. If you must stick with Microsoft Word, you might even buy an older lifetime license of Microsoft Office (2019?) that is separate from the 365 subscription and doesn't require sharing to OneDrive. https://www.libreoffice.org/ https://www.openoffice.org/ https://www.onlyoffice.com/

I need help from those of you who are good at this sort of thing. I have been using MS Word for years and have created transcripts using blank docs and blank templates. Without changing a thing, my fully updated MS 365 and Mac Mini suddenly are forcing me to save my docs in One Drive, which I detest. I have tried every way of disabling the backup, unlinking my Mac from One Drive, tried to change the default file save to the one I've used forever—all to no avail. AI is saying that MS is trying to force everyone to its cloud-based storage, which may be the straw that breaks this camel's back—uh NO! The $99/yr subscription is getting prohibitive also. Any suggestions, as I feel like it is something simple that I'm missing. How can this change so drastically over a week or so when I last saved a document (been on vacation, and this is what happens LOL). Any help would be greatly appreciated. My hubby uses Pages and has never used MS, so no help there. TYIA
