AutoSave writes only a file saved in this session, in a format that keeps everything (.docx, .docm, .dotx, .dotm, .odt, .rtf, .json), and never in the browser, where saving is a download. The title-bar switch still showed on for a saved .md file (#196) and AutoSave looked available in the web app (#176), so edits stayed unsaved with no explanation. WordApp::autosave_block() now says why AutoSave can't cover the document (browser, never saved, a format that can't keep everything, opened but not saved here). The switch is greyed out with that reason as its tooltip, and clicking it offers Save As (desktop) so saving as .docx turns AutoSave on. In the browser, File > Options' AutoSave checkbox is disabled with the same explanation. file.autosave (scripts, MCP, the switch) now sets the app's AutoSave and returns the reason as an error when asked to turn it on where it can't save; turning it off always works. New strings in every catalog. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Last reviewed: 2026-10-10 · Last updated: 2026-10-10 · Change: major (first version; ribbon, dialogs, shortcuts and on-canvas interaction measured from
crates/ui-eguiand the command registry) · Target: Microsoft Word (Microsoft 365) for Mac 16.113.4
How WordCraft looks and feels next to Word: ribbon, dialogs, panes, keyboard, mouse and touch.
Typing behaviour has its own checklist (typing-parity.md). All assets are our
own (AGENTS.md: no Microsoft iconography, ever).
Dimension: ~65% (estimated), 65–100 h to full (the sum of the rows below; dialog depth is counted here, not under features).
