By now you know that Microsoft is now defaulting to saving new Word documents directly to OneDrive. I guess Excel will be the next inline. The cynical take is that this is incredibly convenient for them, especially if they plan on using that data to train future LLMs. Imagine paying for software only to have your data automatically funneled into their cloud. Plus, what happens when you're offline and need those files? Just use the LibreOffice and just say no to all Microsoft products.
@nixCraft I've diversified my products using Google on my Chromebook with its word like features and templates. Do a subscription for Evernote which saves my work in convenient retrievable format and syncs with all my gadgets for portability. These gated systems are passe.
@gnomeoffender @nixCraft Do yourself a favour and use either Joplin or Obsidian. --ex Evernote customer.
@samueljohnson @nixCraft Am using Obsidian like sticky notes to use locally, save by ChatGPT instructions from manuals that I need reference to. I'm looking for an editor for html to text to use.
@gnomeoffender @nixCraft Joplin's web clipper may suit. If you need a separate editor try Bluefish.
@samueljohnson @nixCraft Here's my shared link to Bluefish and how I can use it or not.

Trying to get around the limitations of simple text and play around the edges. Thanks for the info.
