Oh, well. Microsoft Office auto-update somehow replaced my Office 2021 install with Office 365 which disabled all editing. Had to do a complete reinstall. Good luck finding an official 2021 installer using any of their documentation which is all out of date.

Found a GitHub repo with up-to-date direct links to official downloads and handy commands to disable all telemetry and cloud functionality.
