Windows Office Insider Preview Build 114416.20006 fixes auto-save bug

Microsoft has released a new Office Insider Preview Build 14405.20002 for Windows users registered in the Beta Channel of the Office Insider program. The new build appears to be mainly bug fixes, but one of those is pretty significant – a fix in Word for an auto-save bug that would cause recent edits to temporarily disappear.

Moreover, the new Office build also includes fixes for issues found in  Excel, Outlook, Access and the Office app. You can read the full official changelog below to know more.

Changelog

Word

Notable Fixes

• We fixed an issue where enabling auto-save could cause recent edits to temporarily disappear.
• We fixed an issue with the comments where icons, stickers, and illustrations were not visible if they were pasted along with the text in a comment.
• We fixed an issue related to exporting a chart as an EMF, so the EMF has editable labels when inserted as a picture in Office.

• We fixed an issue with non-default ribbon configurations that could lead to the Style Gallery not functioning.

Excel

Notable Fixes

• We fixed a problem where the Analysis ToolPak add-in did not work with certain Automation Security settings.

Outlook

Access

Notable Fixes

• We fixed an error that was causing tables dropped into the query design or system relationship window to appear in a different location than where they were dropped.

Office Suite

Notable Fixes

• We fixed a performance issue related to inserting or editing rows on some versions of Windows.
• We fixed an issue related to the following scenario: when using Create Video to export a video from a presentation at the default OneDrive location, an error message would appear saying that the location is not available.
