  • It was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.

    Edit: also think about what you’re saying: they “added” autosave (why didn’t they already have the single most obvious feature in a word processing app?) but they don’t let you autosave unless you put your files only on OneDrive — not locally. Think about how bizarre and shitty that is… and that’s for paying customers.

  • I was using it for years and they literally have an autosave feature on iOS right now. You can stop typing and force-close the app and it’ll save it to your iCloud (not OneDrive) flawlessly.

    Funny enough I’m familiar with the thread you linked because when they disabled AutoSave I searched for ages to figure out how to re-enable it. That thread is bullshit.

  • I’m a professional writer who uses Word (I’m inured to its bullshit). Autosave does not work on local storage or iCloud — only Microsoft OneDrive. It’s unbelievably frustrating and I’ve developed the subconscious habit of spamming Cmd+S after every sentence or two. Funny enough autosave still works on iOS.

    Edit: I do pay for the Office suite, and I remember when they made this change. They also disabled a few other features I’m too lazy to enumerate, but it’s things like ReadAloud, changing file names while on a cloud backup that isn’t OneDrive (disabled about a year ago), dumb stuff like that.

  • Microsoft Word literally removed the ability to autosave. Your document is no longer automatically saved as you type, unless you pay for cloud backup. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so unbelievably dumb.

  • Weird, it’s been at least a decade since I encountered a Microsoft product that wasn’t actively getting worse.

  • The problem with companies like Microsoft is that they’ve become completely pointless. They don’t innovate anymore. They don’t make anything useful. If you make Microsoft more efficient, they’ll just suck ass more efficiently.

  • I can't imagine how hard it must be to manage a company as big and complex as YouTube.

    To be fair, not at all. Someone in her position would be making broad decisions, such as “should we have a downvote button,” and spending her time courting advertisers and handling the whiny board of directors, who are mostly geriatric babies.
