Microsoft word not saving preferences

Hi montana14,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with Microsoft Word not saving your preferences. Just a heads up that in regards to this kind of issue, our option is limited and we can only perform basic troubleshooting steps. Please allow me to ask some questions to better understand your concern.

• May I know what version and edition of Office installed in your computer?
  
  • You can open any Office apps
    
  • Go to File > Accounts - on the right side you can see Product Information
    
• Are you accessing Word application or Word on Web?
  

Here are some steps you can try to fix this issue:

1. Try repairing Microsoft Office:
   
   • Open the Settings app on your Windows computer. Click on " Installed Apps".
     
   • Scroll down and find "Microsoft 365 Office" in the list of installed apps.
     
   • Click on "Microsoft 365 Office" and then click on "Modify".
     
   • Select "Quick Repair" and click on "Repair".
     
   • Wait for the repair process to complete.
     
2. Reset Word settings: Open Word and go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon. Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window and then click on OK. This will reset all Word settings to their default values.
   
3. Disable add-ins: Sometimes add-ins can cause issues with Word. Go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable any add-ins that you don't need.
   
4. Check for updates: Make sure that you have the latest updates installed for Microsoft Office. Go to File > Account > Update Options > Update Now.
   
5. Autocorrect not working: Try resetting the autocorrect settings by following these steps:
   
   • Click on the File tab in the top left corner of the screen.
     
   • Select Options from the left-hand menu.
     
   • Click on Proofing in the left-hand menu.
     
   • Click on the AutoCorrect Options button.
     
   • Click on the Reset button.
     
   • Click on OK to save the changes.
     
6. Default save location: If you want to change the default save location from OneDrive to your computer, follow these steps:
   
   • Click on the File tab in the top left corner of the screen.
     
   • Select Options from the left-hand menu.
     
   • Click on Save in the left-hand menu.
     
   • Under Save documents, select Computer.
     
   • In the Default local file location box, enter the path to the folder where you want to save your documents.
     
   • Click on OK to save the changes.

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
