Comment on Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce
FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 2 months agoIf what I’m reading in Microsofts support forums are correct, there was never an auto-save-to-local function in Word though. There was the auto-recover, but that’s not the same and I believe still exists.
Auto-save seems to have been added as a onedrive-only feature.

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.

Ok so it’s on iOS, but has it ever been on the desktop versions and then removed?
yeahiknow3@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
It was removed from the MacOS version, yes. I’ve been using Microsoft Word since 2004.

I haven’t seen any evidence of it ever working outside of OneDrive. I’ve been using Word since it came out.
Yes, they added a feature for paying customers. That’s not “bizarre and shitty”. That’s pretty much the industry standard. Paying users get more and better features.
Ok well you’re clearly not to be taken seriously on issues like this.
