You are saving to the cloud and not your hard drive or network?

Each passing version of Office makes it harder & harder to do simple things. You're probably right, but that option shouldn't be the default, IMHO.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Try this: click on the little "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" thingie in the upper left, select more commands and move "Save As" to the list. Now, there should be a save as disk in that toolbar. Here, that offers to save as in my documents folder.
Maybe I am lucky, Office 2016 here.

- File ⇒ Options ⇒ Save
- Untick "Show additional places for saving", and tick "Save to Computer by default".
- Profit!

Don't ruin a good rant with facts. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

A bit late this reply, but google around for options to disable one drive in ms orifice,
there's simple reg hacks that completely remove the clown options so they can't even be used by mistake (also removed from explorer too if I'm not wrong).
BTW: On 7 can completely "uninstall" onedrive using the control panel - a lot of simpletons claim.
Even after that need to go safe mode to properly remove remnants, and there's at least 2 or 3 copies of the onedrive installer it leaves laying about too (to accidentally click I guess).
In all fairness ms do make some good software...
it's the default options (often reset during updates) and extra installed fukkage that makes it suck - even the "choose to install only what you want" vs2017 still has that.
Sin tack
the any key okay

My little girl is now big enough to have her own PC. Can you recommend some simple solution to restrict her access only to some particular sites, or even better - web categories? Can I achieve this just with the Win 10 firewall?
And no, I don't need a monstrosities like Websense or group policies like Forefront.
Thank you in advance!

I do not know it, I only remember it from an article this "Microsoft Family". Try google for "Microsoft Family", I think to remember it includes some Options to control "kid safe".

It requires MC accounts for the entire family. I hate tis MC policy to force you to create accounts with them. I allays forget the credentials for this crappy Hotmail accounts and have to create new for every new Win 10 device I buy.

I tried OpenDNS for awhile. But they always found a way around it. I think Steam bypassed it. Also, the OpenDNS database is always out of date. Eventually, I gave up and felt obligated to show them how to bypass DNS hacks and one of them even built a proxy to bypass the restrictions on their school system. I'm proud of them.

Thanks! I'll check them.

Been there. This is going to work for a year or two then forget it.
My kids easily defeated all the http filtering. Setup their own VPN's. If you aren't careful, they may even hook into neighbors networks to bypass you.
You won't win.

That's why I said, better to try to get them understand it and to teach them what it is "dangerous" than to restrict their use.

I DON'T recommend Microsoft Family. You can tell it was designed by someone without children. (One of my pet peeves is programmers who don't use their own programs - or at least listen to their clients if they don't.)
First you have to give even your youngest children e-mail addresses with the "secure" types of passwords (eight or more chars, caps, non-letters etc.) which YOU have to remember, because they won't.
Then, once I decided to restrict when my teenager could use the computer. Microsoft Family wouldn't do it. It always went back to what I had originally entered - even after multiple reboots to make sure she wasn't logged in.
I wrote a scathing letter to Microsoft - who probably tossed it in their trash bin.

Hmmm... that is what we are using my out daughter. No issues, and she doesn't have an e-mail address, just a local account.
We set her password, change is regularly, and enforce the amount of time she has. She gets prompted she has 15 minutes left for the day and regularly after that.. shuts her down when time is up.

(Disclaimer: I don't have any kids. Take pity on my free time, long undisturbed nights, and disposable income! )
Tools are an important part of your protection strategy, but nothing is infallible. There are plenty of dangers on the Interwebz that won't get picked up by any tools.
Whilst it's impractical to personally monitor your children all the time, it's probably a good idea to keep their computer in a "public" part of the house, with the screen visible to other members of the family as they pass. That way, you at least stand a chance of spotting the warning signs if anything untoward is going on.
I'm sure you've already done this, but it's important to let your children know that if they ever encounter something that makes them feel uncomfortable, they should talk to a parent / guardian / teacher, and that they won't get into trouble by asking you for help.
And make sure they know never to give out any personal details, and never to share any pictures or videos with anyone - or at the very least, anyone they don't know and trust IRL.
And that, no, Justin Bieber / Wotsisface-out-of-Wand-Erection / «insert-latest-tweenybobber-pop-star-here» isn't going to start talking to them online. If anyone claims to be a celebrity to try to start a conversation, don't respond in any way, and tell a suitable adult ASAP.

As I say, probably all things you've already thought of and handled, but worth reiterating just in case.

We used a product called SafeEyes for 5-7 years.
Safe Eyes - Parental Control Software for Mac and PC[^]
At times the interface was terrible, but it always allowed them to:
1. see valid safe sites
2. kept them from seeing bad content
Advantages.
*It provides a way to set up filters based upon each of their profiles.
*Filters are mostly good as you just pick types of stuff you don't want them to see from categories.
*You can unblock sites so that even if they're marked bad for some reason.
*It even successfully blocks advertisements (adblock) for things you choose like weapons or lingerie.
*You can see all of their searches -- to see if they are interested in something they shouldn't be
*Searches can be filtered too.
*Once you install it on their PC / laptop they cannot take the laptop to another network and get through to bad stuff. Even if they take a laptop to a friend's network (overnight stay or something)
* You can remotely admin the software. -- very cool when they want to see a site and you're at work and it's obviously a safe site. Log in unblock the site and it will be available then.
Disadvantages
The software set up can be annoying.
Sometimes in the past the Safe Eyes site would foul up.
Setting up filters and getting it right takes time (but it's worth it)
Sometimes the software (on kid's laptop) just went crazy and had to be rebooted.
Check it out. It might be a lot better than what we had. Haven't used it for 3 years or so since kids are over 18 now.
