When you use Office apps on your mobile device, the changes that you make are saved automatically in the cloud location of your choice. As you work in the file, your changes are automatically saved for you and your documents are saved periodically, even when you are offline.
As you continue to work in the file, changes are automatically saved for you. You won't see a Save button in the header when the auto save option is on. If you'd rather not have Office auto save for you, you can turn off this setting and save manually.
Office automatically saves files when you first create them, which means they're also given a name. You can change the title of your file at any time by tapping the file title and typing in a new name.
As you continue to work in the file, changes are automatically saved for you. You won't see a Save button on the file menu when the auto save option is on. If you'd rather not have Office auto save for you, you can turn off this setting and save manually.
You can find and open your files from Google Drive on your computer with Drive for desktop. After you move your Office files to Drive, you can continue to work on them in Office and save your changes to Google Drive.
I've created a bunch of Heading styles, colours, fonts, etc. that I would like to reuse in all my documents and those of my colleagues. I used the page layout tab and saved the theme to a .thmx file. When opening a new document however, I didn't see the new theme. One way or the other I've managed to get it to show up under Page Layout > Themes > Themes.
Everything works as expected, however, Office related products can't save. They throw a permission error. My theory is Office tries to delete the file then rename/copy its temp/current saved file to be the new file.
Word gains significant performance speed by placing the temporary file in the same directory as the saved file.....The location where Word creates the temporary files is hardcoded information and cannot be edited. Therefore, it is important that NTFS permissions for the user are set accordingly.
This is the same for across all Office desktop applications that save documents, i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher. A complete list of NTFS permission required for Word (specifically) can be found here. NTFS Delete is one of them.
As you work in a workbook, Microsoft Excel saves the file automatically. It gives the file a temporary file name, and puts the file into the same folder as the original version. When you manually save the workbook, the original file is deleted, and the temporary file is assigned the original file name.
If this process is interrupted, the workbook might not save correctly. You might also find one or more temporary files in the folder where you tried to save your file. Additionally, you may receive one of several alerts or error messages.
If you cannot save a workbook when you run Microsoft Excel in Windows Safe mode, the problem may be caused by a third-party add-in or by a file from one of the Excel startup locations. By default, startup files are loaded when you start Excel.
If the file now saves correctly, a custom add-in or a file that is located in an Excel startup location is most likely the cause. You must locate and remove the add-in or the file to eliminate the problem. After you determine which add-in or file caused the problem, contact the vendor for additional information or an update that resolves the problem.
When you save to any medium, such as a hard disk, an external storage drive, or a network drive, you must make sure that the disk has sufficient free space to enable the file to save. If the destination does not have sufficient space, Excel cannot complete the "save" operation, and you receive the following error message:
When antivirus software is installed or is running, you may receive an error message when you try to save an existing workbook, but not when you try to save a new file. You may receive the error message because some antivirus programs quickly scan any new files that appear on a computer. This scan can sometimes interrupt the Excel "save" process and may stop Excel from saving the file correctly.
If you and a second user work concurrently on a shared workbook, you may receive an error message if you and the second user try to save the file at the same time. You receive an error message because Excel cannot save the file if another instance of Excel is saving the same file.
If none of the causes that are listed in this article apply to your situation, or you still can't save workbooks, try the following options to save your Excel files. To see more details about the steps, select the chevron image to the left or the option heading.
To work around this problem and try to save your work before you troubleshoot, use the following methods. Depending on the cause of the problem, you may be unable to recover the current file as-is. However, the following methods are typically successful. These methods are listed in order of format retention when you are trying to keep the original file formatting.
The following methods may not save all the latest changes, formatting, and feature sets of the workbook that are specific to the version of Excel that you are using. The following methods are intended to let you obtain a usable, saved version of the file. These methods require you to save the file to your local hard disk by using a unique file name.

When user A edits certain Excel documents (not all, just a specific 2 or 3) then saves, the file permissions disappear and no one can access them. I log onto the file server (2016) and I can't open them. I view the permissions and I get an error saying I need read permissions to view the security. I can restore the permissions by taking ownership of the file, close the advanced security settings window, reopen the advanced security settings window, add read access for any user, then hit apply. Once I take ownership and a permission has been added, all the other permissions appear. However, if that user edits that file again, the permissions are gone. User A can also duplicate this issue on multiple PCs. User B has access to the file server, but not the folder.
So am I correct in gathering that the file specific permissions keep vanishing? If this is the case, as the user who saved the file, can you view the file permissions and see if it is just inheriting from the folder after save? When you take ownership and set the correct file permissions, were you turning inheritance back on? Perhaps try turning inheritance back on and then just adding any needed additional permissions after that.
If I remember correctly, I think Excel saves a new file every save which plays havoc with needed permissions. This may not solve the issue but may be happening is that it is removing old file with the explicit permissions and then saving a new copy with inherited permissions. Maybe this change came from that May update? Anyone else know if the way Excel saves files is still this way?
You are right about how Excel saves the permissions. When the user saves the file, no one except an admin on the file server can see the file. The owner is unknown and there are no visible permissions. If the user tried to open it from their recent history or active session if they didn't close it, they get a permissions denied error.
User Case: My university uses Google Drive as the default cloud storage service. However, Microsoft 365 does not save to Google Drive automatically. Is there a tool or cloud-to-cloud sync service that will allow me to set Office 365 to save to Google Drive?
Except for manually uploading Office 365 documents to Google Drive, two different free tools like Google Drive desktop application and MultCloud can help you save Microsoft Office documents to Google Drive automatically. Just follow the step-by-step instruction below to achieve your goal easily.
Google Drive offers an official app called Drive for desktop (formerly Backup and Sync) to sync your local files with the Google Drive cloud. With this app, you can access the Google Drive online storage directly within the Microsoft Office application. This means you can open and save Office 365 docs to Google Drive.
Step 4. When saving files in Office documents like Word documents, click File > Save As > Browse and choose a Google Drive folder in File Explorer to save Word document to Google Drive directly.
To let Office 365 documents save to Google Drive by MultCloud, all you need is a MultCloud account. Then you can use the Cloud Sync function to sync OneDrive to Google Drive and access Office 365 from Google Drive conveniently.
