Where is the auto save option in Microsoft Office 2016 for Word and Power Point

In the English version of Word and PowerPoint 2011, Templates are stored inside your Home folder in ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates. In other languages, the User Templates/My Templates part is localized (e.g. Benutzervorlagen/Eigene Vorlagen/ in German).

The User's Library folder is hidden in 10.7 and later, but you can go there by holding down option while clicking the Go menu in the Finder, then selecting Library.

This worked for me:

You may wish to update your Normal template as well. To do so:

• Open the Normal.dotm template (Note: You MUST navigate to the Normal template using the File menu in Word, and choose "Open". Don't try it from the Finder or you will make a copy of Normal each time.)
• Close all other documents (this is important...if you don't, Word holds a hidden instance of the old version open).
• Change the paper size.
• Add and remove a space from the text (to force Word to save the document)
• Save the Normal template. (If Word prompts you for a file name, you did not open the file correctly and you now have a copy that is not a template. Cancel out and start again...)
• Close Word.

Should be good when you re-open.
