- AutoSave
- Word docs forced to OneDrive @ AskWoody
- 2025-09-01
- AutoSave now will work only for cloud-based storage (OneDrive). Cloud folders willl now be given explicit preference over local computer options.
- AutoSave is available only for files saved on OneDrive or SharePoint. Default save options will be limited to cloud-based folders only.
- Four methods for working around Office 365's AutoSave feature - TechRepublic
- 2017
- "Unfortunately,
and frankly inexplicably, Microsoft decided to make the AutoSave
feature not only automatic, but also permanently on. There is no option
to turn it off—if you open a document residing on OneDrive and make any
change to it at all, the old version of the document is gone and you
are left with the current version, complete with a new timestamp."
- Method 1: Don't use OneDrive
- Method 2: Copy to PC, then save to OneDrive with a new name
- Method 3: Save a copy
- Method 4: Turn AutoSave off each time you open the document
- Method 5: Password protect the file (after you have finished editing it), then edit a copy of it next time.

- Outlook (new) vs. Outlook (classic)
- Five reasons not to use the new Outlook @ AskWoody
- Outlook (new) is reallly just a beta to allow customers to be guineau pigs.
- "MIA features are the lack of cross-mailbox support (no copy, move, or search across mailboxes), the inability to download attachments to a specific folder, the inability to open an attachment directly, the lack of Resend, and no way to view complete message headers.
- " Newer Outlooks give the mailbox login details to Microsoft, who uses that info to connect with the mailbox. All email and other traffic go through Microsoft servers.
- "Outlook (new) is still a messy work in progress — it’s too heavily skewed to Microsoft-hosted mailboxes.
- "Microsoft now says that classic Outlook will be supported until at least 2029.

- How to Sync Outlook Signatures Across Devices: An Easy Guide
- 2022-10-25
- Can I sync my Outlook signature to other devices? As of now, the only
Outlook signatures that sync are those you create on Outlook.com. If
you only use Outlook in your web browser, your signature is
automatically synced with your account. Just sign in to Outlook.com
anywhere in the world and you'll see the same signatures. However,
these signatures do not sync to Outlook for desktop or the Outlook
mobile apps.
Open Outlook on the computer that has the signature.
If you want to use the same Outlook signature from your desktop
installation on another computer, you'll need to copy and paste it into
a new signature. The easiest way to do this is to send yourself an
email from the computer that has the correct signature, open that email
on the new computer, and then copy that signature into a new signature
file.
