Hello,
I use Office 365, daily.
In particular, I use Word, daily.
I have a word document named Notes.docx.
I am paranoid about OneDrive, for which I have numerous posts and no solutions. [Everything and everyone is culpable for the problem, EXCEPT for Microsoft. There is no way Microsoft has written problematic code with OneDrive.]
Therefore, daily, I save a copy of my notes.docx file as yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx, where ^ is a space. Therfore, I have numerous copies of notes.docx for edits made on respective days.
So,
In Word, under recent files a paying Microsoft customer would erroneously believe:
- that notes.docx would be listed as a recent documents because, in fact, it is used and saved daily.
- recent documents would be listed either in descending date order by the nomenclature of the file, e.g, the file saved yesterday with the yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx would be listed as well as the day before that and the day before that an so on or by the actual save date of the file
This paying Microsoft customer erroneously believed the above.
This paying Microsoft customer:
- does not even see notes.doc.x in the recent documents list, a file that was in fact used and saved yesterday.
- does not see the immediately 3 preceding files of notes.docx with the following naming structure yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx
This paying Microsoft customer sees as his recent documents:
- notes.docx files with the naming structure yyyy^mm^dd^notes.docx as of 75 days ago, seventy five days ago!!!
Stated differently, the code that Microsoft has written is telling this paying customer that:
- files saved 75 days ago are the most recent files
- files used yesterday and saved yesterday are OLDER than files used and saved 75 days ago
- Word has not saved a single document for 75 days; therefore, Word has not been used in the past 75 days either to create or to edit Word documents.
Remember Forrest Gump?
Microsoft is a technological box of chocolates, you never know what the Microsoft problem du jour you are going to get.
Oh, yes, I know the fault lies with me or some third party or failure to have everything updated (because it was released to the public as **** in the first place with the intention of proclaiming corrections with updates) or the man-in-the-moon, because it is never Microsoft's fault.
QUESTION: Is this how the free Google Docs does it?
