Can I NOT use Cloud to Edit/Save Office Documents ?

[PDX97229]

Hello ALL:
We just got a Galaxy Tab S2 64GB from BestBuy. There sure is little documentation in the package!
We were told that the Office Software that comes with it is FREE for as long as we have this Tablet. I was told that when we setup an account with MS, we could create, edit and save Excel and Word Documents. However, we are getting Mixed answers about NOT storing these documents on the Cloud. Some say that they have to be on the cloud (OneNote) and others say that is only an option and that we CAN save data to the Tablet. Does anyone know for sure?

Thank You.

You could always just sign up for a Microsoft account and try it yourself, right?

I'm able to save to the device or to Dropbox, Onedrive, or Google Drive.

So it sounds like I CAN save to our device! I could try it myself, but it they forced the cloud, I was going to return this to BestBuy without even adding my information.
