I use MS Word 2008 pretty regularly, however for some weird reason the last document I saved went to iCloud (I didn't even know iCloud did .docx files...)

Anyways, now I can only find the Word document through Finder, which lists it as in iCloud. But I can't click on "iCloud" in the directory to open the folder to take it out and put it on my HDD... how do I get it?!

iCloud is pretty dumb I feel... every time I open TextEdit it always wants me to use iCloud, and I really don't understand the interface still (clearly I don't know where to access my cloud documents even...)

I would just use keynote for PPT. It is better integrated with iCloud and you can also get it to the iPads, etc. easily.
