Answer 1

Wade,

In Word for Windows, you can go to File > Options > Save and select the option "Save to Computer by default" and specify a "Default local file location."

You can make OneDrive a lot less intrusive by unlinking your user account from OneDrive. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/turn-off-disable-or-uninstall-onedrive-f32a17ce-3336-40fe-9c38-6efb09f944b0. The screen shot below is for Windows.

How do you move it out and where do you move it to?

Answer 3

By default, the Documents folder is inside the local OneDrive folder on many Windows installations. You need to move files out of the OneDrive folder (including its subfolders), if you don't want those files to synchronize.

You should see an icon for OneDrive on the Windows taskbar.

If you are not seeing it there, you can access OneDrive from within File Explorer.
