How to transfer everything from microsoft account to a saved copy on my Mac

How would I transfer everything from my microsoft work account (all documents, word, powerpoint, etc.) into a saved copy on my Mac. Everything just saved and downloaded on my Mac, and make them when I click the documents that they won't open in word, powerpoint, whatever the software is. Not in iCloud, since I don't pay for iCloud storage. Thank you in advance.

Do you have a Microsoft license and have the apps installed, if not you can use "Libre" I think that is the name of it.
