    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

      Time to learn another language then mix them

      Siu Mit USA De Fa Si Si Zu Yi
      The Only Good Fa Xi Si Zu Yi Ze Hai Sei Zo Ge

      (Destroy fascism in the USA
      The only good fascist is a dead one)

      Now just need to transpose that and replace some characters. Of course, making it offline would greatly reduce government/corporate surveillance threats. As long as your family aren’t cryptographers, they won’t be able to decrypt it.

      (Its Tri-Lingual. Cantonese Jyutping, Mandarin Pinyin, and English of course. Romanization of characters makes it harder to guess words especially when it gets transposed with a bunch of others.)
