    Open Word.

    Go to File - Options

    Click 'Save' on the left.

    On the right, you should be able to disable saving to OneDrive and choose to save the Office documents to your PC not to the cloud.

    Also, you need to disable the AutoSave function at the top left of Word, because that process only works when you save to OneDrive.

    If you are unable to save files on the C or D drives, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some common causes and solutions:

    1. Disk Space: Ensure that there is sufficient free space on the drives. If the drive is full, you will receive an error message indicating that the disk is full.
    2. Permissions: Check if you have the necessary permissions to save files in those locations. If you do not have write permissions, you will not be able to save files.
    3. Antivirus Software: Sometimes, antivirus software can interfere with the saving process. Try temporarily disabling your antivirus to see if that resolves the issue.
    4. File Naming and Path Length: Ensure that the file name and path do not exceed the character limit (218 characters). If they do, you will receive an error message about the filename being invalid.
    5. Read-Only Files: If the files you are trying to save are marked as read-only, you will not be able to save changes. Check the file properties to ensure they are not set to read-only.

    If these solutions do not resolve your issue, consider checking for any system errors or conflicts that may be affecting your ability to save files.
