“Access” as in: have anything to do with them? Then why tf are you using Word on Windows?
“Access” as in: be able to read them? That would be super illegal for them to do and the easiest class action lawsuit win in history. EU fines would eat them alive.
Because I do not want Microsoft to have access to all my documents.

That’s not how cloud save works!
The files are saved to local storage that then gets sync’d up to the Cloud. The files are available both on- and offline.

You need to explain why you think the second statement refutes the first.
I think I accidentally posted that on the wrong comment. My bad.
As if windows does not send telemetry
Telemetry ≠ Uploading whole documents Which does not mean I defend Windows telemetry but it’s quite different
Comes from a person who hasn’t written telemetry. It’s either useless or contains private information
Private information doesn’t necessarily mean “entire contents of all word documents I have ever created”
Cloud storage has nothing to do with anything/anyone reading the contents of your files.
It’s absolutely mind boggling to me how many completely ignorant people are on the Technology community here.
Just imagining the fines from the “won by default” lawsuits that MS would suffer at the hands of their EU users makes this whole notion hilarious!
What an ignorant thing to say…
Don’t use Windows either.
