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 didn't start about third world problems. 

    The only thing you see here is ignorance. Ignorance of human kind. Both in third-world countries as in the richest people in the world.

    Yes, the world is a miserable place. Yes, billions of people worry about their next meal, the welfare of their families, and the safety of their homes... if they have any.

    But that's not germane to this discussion. 

    As for Bill Gates, the Gates Foundation spends billions to help solve some of the most pernicious problems confronted by the world's have-nots. If you want to point a finger at someone for not doing that, aim at Jeff Bezos.

    But, whatever you do, don't keep this tangential detour going; not in this thread. If you don't have a solution to this particular problem -- one that affects the working lives, livelihoods, and productivity of potentially millions of Office users -- please don't post about anything else.

    Thanks.
