We have had issues with out autosave functionality when the file location is set to the default location. It saves deep within the libary/containers.so on. We have found though that this can be hit or miss of actually autosaving the files as we have had multiple peoples office crash and lose all their work (they should have saved but they didn't) and it not show up in the autosave default location.

However we do find that if the default file location is changed to documents or something other than deep within the library folder it works more consistently. Mac os 9 emulator online. I have tried searching to figure out which.plist file stores the preference for default file location for autosave to no avail. We are looking for a command we can run such as 'default write com.microsoft.word.plist change autosave location to username/documents' essentially so we can push to all of our macs through our MDM solution.
