For quite sometime, my Word and Excel files are being forced to save in One Drive instead of the cloud. How do I disable "saving to One Drive" and save to the iCloud instead. I pay $10/month for 2TB of storage for a reason. I guess the main question is, if I "save to my MAC", is that ultimately saving to iCloud?

If you mean that your File > Save dialog looks like the following (without the red arrow)
click the "On My Mac" button (where the red arrow is pointing)and it will change to a normal Save dialog similar to the following. You can then select your iCloud Drive folder (including your iCloud Desktop or Documents folders or subfolders or any other folders on your Mac and save to them:
If you turn on iCloud Drive in Apple menu > System Settings > [username] > iCloud > Drive, then files that you save to the iCloud Drive folder on your Mac will sync with iCloud. If you also turn on Desktop & Documents in that same Settings window, then files saved to the Desktop or to the Documents folder (or subfolders) will sync with iCloud. If you turn on Optimize Mac Storage in that same Settings window you can save storage space on your Mac as it will allow some files to be only on iCloud with no local copy. See the description of Optimize Storage in the Setting window.
I understand all that with iCloud. My problem is that OFFICE 365 has taken over my file storage process. I'm no longer given the opportunity to save to iCloud, it automatically shows Office 365 options and I don't even want them in the mix.
