"No, I don't think it will"

I have a Word document saved into my ‘personal account vault’ which is for personal thoughts (like a diary). Does this mean, they’ll automatically upload this too into their cloud?

If that’s the case, not sure what to do. Tempted to go back to old school diary but risk the chance of my family finding it.

Markdown is great for that. There also are some WYSIWYG and a lot of side-view editors. If you still want Word-alike, there's lots of office suites aside from Office 365. Or is it about saving notes to cloud? Even more solutions just for that, aside from plain file-sync clouds.

Thanks, I’ll look into Markdown!

Or is it about saving notes to cloud?

No, that’s not it. I just want a Word-alike thing that allows me to put a password on it and use it as a ‘modern diary’ (like how you can make chapters and such in Word).

Not sure if I explained it well, English isn’t my native language. So wasn’t sure how to explain it

Gotta feed that AI!

No big corporation or state institution handling vast amounts of customer data will not allow this. Also really bad for regular consumer too. Microsoft servers will become treasure trove for hackers.
