I just updated to word for Mac 16.25. Word no longer remembers the sizing of the document, and always opens to a very small window. Never happened before the update.

Original Title: Word for Mac 16.25

Microsoft 365 and Office | Word | For home | Windows

Hi All,

We have received several reports about the same issue recently. For others to easily identify the information here, I’m summarizing the issue as follows:

Issue description:

After updating to version 16.25 (190512), Word for Mac can no loner remember the window size closed last time. It always opens at a fixed size.

Environment:

Word for Mac version 16.25 (190512) on all three latest version of Mac OS.

Assessment:

We can reproduce the same behavior on our side. And we are reporting the issue to our related team for further investigation. Once there is any update, we will post back as soon as possible. As a workaround, you can open the Word for Mac application first and open the file from the recent list or from the File menu.

Thanks,

Ran

    I have a standalone version for Mac, not 365 or whatever.

    Possibly they solved it for some versions and not for all. 19060901 has not been fixed.

    I am going back to 2016. Especially now that this thread has become polluted with some people claiming that it has been solved. It has not.

    Guess I'm the only one, then. What else would explain it being fixed?
