Windows 10: Save as location

Hi, this is really frustrating. I issue word documents as .pdfs, previously when I saved the document it defaulted to the same location as the word document, whereas now it tries to save it on the one drive which I do not use and do not wish to use. This seems a clear case of MS tying to force users into using OneDrive. Please can you give clear instructions on how to change this back.
