Office Insider save dialog

Microsoft today released a new Office Insider build for Office for Windows Desktop users. This Version 2006 (Build 12914.20000) update comes with a new improvement for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. You can now pin your folders in the Save dialog. This will make it easy to save your Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.

Here’s how this feature works:

  • Create a file.
  • Click the Save button or press CTRL+S.
  • Click the Choose a location arrow and press the pin and unpin buttons on the folders shown.

This Office Insider update also includes several bug fixes, find the full change log below.

ExcelNotable fixes

  • We fixed an issue where the error message “This workbook is currently referenced by another and cannot be closed” would appear because add-ins were being loaded in alphabetical order rather than in a user specified order.
  • We fixed an issue where memory was being corrupted when managing fonts between Excel and some third-party assistive technology applications.
