Can Word send my documents to a third party server?

[suryalord]

Hi there
I installed Microsoft Word 2016 from my school's microsoft page for free because my school payed for a license. It works all good but I just have on question about it:
Could Word send the documents I write in Office to my school so they could look at it?
I only want to know because I want to write like confidential documents with the Word that they sent me.

Only if you have some kind of virus/worm/trojan they could see it.
Otherwise no one can in theory.
