Touchwood, we’re seeing a future, unreleased tweak to the interface.Many Office 365 plans contain Office 2013/2016 applications that users can install on their own computers or devices, but there’s some confusion over the use of Office 2013/2016 without an internet connection. Hopefully, it’s a sign that the AutoSave/Save combo will, at long last, become optional. Is this an attempt to ‘fix’ the promoted image of the new interface? Perhaps to make the look less complicated than it really is? Or hiding the much-maligned compulsory AutoSave/Save buttons from the image that will be copied by many media. And ‘Show Below Ribbon’ hasn’t been used in the Word example. ‘Hide Quick Access Toolbar’ nor ‘Show Below Ribbon’ does not remove the AutoSave and Save items from the title bar.

If the document isn’t saved to a compatible cloud service, the AutoSave label and slider remain. The AutoSave and Save button are still fixed on the left of the title bar, whether they are applicable or not. On the other hand, it’s over-crowded the Title Bar which has caused other troubles.
