Do Auto Save and Version work for Office for Mac-documents?
Do Auto Save and Version work for "Office for Mac 2011"-documents?
No, just certain Apple apps right now. Preview, iWorks, textedit come to mind. Anything else?

Does auto-save and version work with old apps like pages '09?
Hello,
I'm new Lion user. I tried auto-save and version with textedit and it works.
But i'm not sure it works with pages '09.It does work if you install the update from yesterday.

Auto Save and Versions not working
Auto Save and Versions are not working in pages or numbers. I've worked on a project for over five minutes when I "Xed" out the drop down box opened up and asked if I wanted to save. Any ideas why? Also, how do you open up versions?
There is the problem with that sentiment. I don't like the loss of "save as" either. I think the new save/duplicate paradigm has more steps and is poorly implemented to boot. Yet, people complain far more about Versions and Autosave than they do about "save as"? Why on earth would anyone complain about Autosave? There is no user interface change involved with Autosave. It is entirely in the background. If you don't like Autosave, you are free to randomly delete files from your machine and from Time Machine if you want. I don't see what the point of that would be, but it would give you the same effect of not having Autosave. There is more a user impact to Versions, but it still a really cool feature. Why would you not want to have access to old versions of your document? It isn't going to eat much disk space. The last time someone complained about disk space usage by versions I calculated that it would take 38 years for them to run out of space due to Versions. If you don't want to use Versions, don't click on the Versions tools. Problem solved.
I don't want people lumping clear losers (like no more "save as") with clear winners like Autosave and Versions. -
Where can I control Auto Save and Versions? I can't find it in System Settings.
Can I control it by terminal commands?
On http://www.apple.com/macosx/what-is/ Apple claims:
Versions creates a new version of a document each time you open it and every hour while you’re working.
While here http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html Apple claims:
Forget about manual saving and forge ahead with confidence. Auto Save in OS X Lion automatically saves your work, while you work, during pauses and every five minutes. And Lion saves changes in the background so you're never interrupted with progress bars.
So I wonder every five minutes or every hour? Would be nice to make sure on each Mac itself whether it auto-saves every five minutes or every hour and to actually allow its user o set the frequency.It does both. It saves your work in the current version every 5 minutes. Every hour, it creates a new version of the document.
I haven't searched for any version settings, yet. -
I'm not seeing the Auto Save and Versions features
I have a document open in Pages '09 and I'm running Lion, but I am not seeing the auto save or versions features that you supposedly get my clicking on the document name. Can someone help? Do I have to turn this feature on in preferences?
I'm actually working on a Word document that Pages has converted and opened, but the document does have a title bar name. So..I have to do a manual save before auto save will start working?!?
You don't have to do a manual save. Pages will auto save the converted Word document. If you quit Pages after editing the converted document without saving, Pages will reopen the converted Word document, give it a temporary window title of "Untitiled" and have saved your edits.
I did think I see a preference setting for auto save that wasn't checked in my preferences.
I don't think Pages every had auto save. Word does though, and this may be what you're remembering.
Also, how does all this auto save and versions stuff work…
Have a read of Apple's support document titled OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions. This explains both and how the two features are related but different.
NB While Pages auto saves new, untitled documents it doesn't create a Version of these documents. -
Hello all. I am new to the Apple iMac. Love it! Just downloaded Lion and am curious about Versions and Autosave but cannot seem to find any info in the Help menu. Will Versions work on Office for Mac software (ie, Office for Mac Excel and Word)?
Open Pages, Preview or TextEdit as the previous poster said, then:
i. hover your cursor round the title bar to make the arrow/upside down triangle visible
ii. click that arrow to see the menu.
Of course, you'll need to have some versions of a file in order for Versions to do anything! -
How do I activate auto save and versions?
How do I activate auto save & versions?
Mountain Lion. Since ML, Auto Save and Version does not work with new user accounts I am creating. The accounts I moved from Lion MBA to Mountain Lion on my RMBP 15 have it enabled.
So: ML still has the feature, but you may not access it by Preferences. It does - only on new accounts - even not work with TextEdit. With the Accout I moved from Lion to Mountain Lion no such problems. -
When will Microsoft make an update for "Auto Save" and "Versions"?
Do you actually know something more about this missing function in office 2011?
There are a lot of people, myself included, that are hoping the answer to that question is "never". Hopefully, if they do, it will be something one can disable or tailor in preferences.
However, Office already has some of the basic elements of Versions and AutoSave right now. You can set documents to automatically save at any minute interval you want. And if you enable "Track Changes" within an Office document, you can essentially keep versions as you make changes. While "Track Changes" and Office's method of AutoSave is not identical to Apple's lion implementation, I like it better...mainly because you can enable the facets of the features at many levels, while with Lion's, you can't. Yeah, I know that there are workarounds, but they are time consuming to undo changes that you don't want, or accidentally make.
Imagine Lion's Autosave you can't turn off, on something like Photoshop. You open a file, apply a filter or two, and then decide you don't like the changes. Oops, Photoshop has saved the file.... then you have to go through the rigamarole of Versions to restore your original document. -
Question about Auto Save and Versions
Hi. I'm running the latest version of Yosemite — 10.10.2
My Mac seems to be auto-saving documents, but when I click the down arrow on a document's title, I don't see the options to "Revert to Last Saved Version" or "Browse All Versions."
Since the documents are being auto-saved, I would like to have the option of reverting and browsing saved versions. Does anyone know why I'm not seeing those options?
Thanks!Glad that helped!
Yes, I believe the way you described indeed worked in previous versions of OS X.
Enjoy your Apple gear. -

Would a 347 MB file be slow? Auto save and auto type turn off?
I am doing an art inventory and add jpegs of the art. I don't resize them they range from 750k to 3MB. I guess if it is slowing the program down i should? It currently is 267 rows by about 18 columns.
Thanks in advance.
Oh can I turn off auto save and auto type? That may help. How do I do that?Done.
Enter Scrip Editor
paste the posted script
File > Save > as Script on the Desktop
Move the script to the folder :
Macintosh HD:Library:Scripts:Folder Action Scripts:
CAUTION, you will be asked to enter your pasword.
Create a folder to do the job. I named mine Normalized. I created mine on the Desktop where it's easy to reach.
Go to :
Macintosh HD:Library:Scripts:Folder Actions:
Double click the alias : Configure Folder Actions
Below the left column, click
navigate to select your new folder
Below the right column, click
select the script image - normalize400.scpt
After that, drag and drop a picture file onto your folder.
The original will be move in the folder Originals (isn’t it original ?)
and a reduced copy 400 x height will be stored in the folder Normalized images.
And now, here is the script :
--{code}
Image - Normalize
This Folder Action handler is triggered whenever items are added to the attached folder.
The script rotates the image counter-clockwise (left).

Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.
Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.
