Select and open an Excel file from that folder The folder will now be the default save location. This seems clumsy and there may be another way, but it seems this unhelpful opacity is a feature of Office 2016. Fixed: where are my Office 365 AutoRecovery files? Posted on by MacManus.nl. And if you are running Office 2016 for Mac. Why would you want to change the default autosave folder location? Best format for usb for mac and pc. Because my Mac crashes all the time and it’s really difficult to locate the hidden folders every time. If I could set the backup file.

Hi A user keeps getting 'Application Hang' 1002 error with Excel when updating a file The file was in 97-2003 format so I saved it into Excel 2016 format (this reduces its size from 5.4MB to 3.8MB) Unfortunately the file (or Excel rather) keeps locking up after a certain period of time e.g. 30 mins We next enabled the Autosave feature and set the frequency to two minutes hoping to reduce the amount of lost work each time the file locks up. The autosave feature doesn't seem to be operational, in fact in the picture below it seems to be greyed out: Here are the settings for the autosave feature: I have now saved back to 97-2003 and back again to 2016 in order, I hope, to filter out any corrupt data; Excel locked up upon opening the 97-2003 version. Incidently Excel takes forever to open this older format Is there a way to make this file healthy? Usb desktop external hard drive for mac. I will try to copy and paste the contents into a totally new file to see if that helps thanks yann.
