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.
Microsoft is a despicable company whose board of directors should be guillotined.
Ok well you’re clearly not to be taken seriously on issues like this.
So to be clear, your claim is that Word never saved your file automatically every few minutes? Are you suuuuuuure? Sounds to me like you’ve never used Microsoft Word before.
Also I am a paying customer, you corporate shill. I just want my file saved LOCALLY, as it has been for decades, not on fucking OneDrive.
Last point: anyone who doesn’t think the Microsoft board of directors should be guillotined should also be guillotined. I am repeating this because it is true.
I have had a paid Office subscription and used OneDrive since it was SkyDrive, so I honestly couldn’t tell you from personal experience - which is why I’m using google and also asking any and all AIs I have access to. I have found zero evidence of AutoSave being added and working with local save files. AutoRecover yes, AutoSave no.
I’m happy to be proven wrong though, so feel free to provide some links showing that it did.

Such a badarse you are. I’m quivering in fear.

They haven’t removed saving your files locally though.
You just spent pages attacking Microsoft for allegedly removing something that never existed. Maybe it’s time for you to re-evaluate.
By your lack of sources backing up your claims that they previously had auto-save to your local device, and your out-of-nowhere shift to personal attacks, I think it’s safe to assume that you realised you remembered incorrectly.
You STILL believe that a decades old word processing app would let you type for hours without periodically saving your work? Are you actually insane?
EDIT: You know what, never mind. Your corporate shilling has convinced me — Microsoft Word isn’t getting shittier. Being the only word processor on the planet with no autosave feature makes perfect sense. Amazing conclusion.
SHOW ME SOME EVIDENCE THAT IT HAD AUTOSAVE TO YOUR LOCAL DEVICE.
Again - it has autorecover which essentially does the same thing to a degree, but no I have not been able to find a single source saying it ever had autosave to local. I don’t remember any other version having it.
Your point was that they REMOVED AUTOSAVE TO YOUR LOCAL STORAGE, not that they never had it. Will you admit that you were wrong about that?

You just spent pages defending Microsoft for having no autosave feature on a word processor. Maybe time to re-evaluate your life choices.
Do you not see the irony in that?
