Do documents automatically store in cloud?

I would like to work on documents in word and excel without them storing on the cloud? I am new to this and don't understand how the cloud works. I have the Microsoft that allows access to up to 5 computers. Can I work on something without it  going to the cloud? Does word just allow you to save it on the one computer without being accessed on the cloud or other computers?

    Since you are using Office Web Apps, I suspect the default is saving to SkyDrive, yes. For the basics of Web Apps, take a look at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/web-apps-help/basic-tasks-in-word-web-app-HA102843651.aspx?CTT=5&origin=HA102619009. The Save As command should let you save a local copy.
