Word Online (Web version) auto deletes text
Captain here. I HAVE THE SOLUTION!
Thereˋs something called user agent responsible for telling the website which browser youˋre using. If you change your user agent to make it seem youˋre accessing the word wonline webpage from a windows / mac computer, it works properly.
Iˋm on Android, so for the iPad folks, youˋll have to search how to change the user agent a ios supported browser. At least on Android, Firefox and Kiwi Browser are possible, but my recommendation is to use the Samsung Internet. And here it goes the step by step:
- Open Samsung Internet (also works on the Beta version)
- Type on the URL box: internet://urls/
- Click on the 3 stripes on the right top corner -> settings -> debug settings (this option only appears when youˋre on the internet://urls/ page.)
- Click User Agent debug settings -> Custom UA string. You can now input a different user string of your choice. Hereˋs one you can use: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.6422.186 Safari/537.36 OPR/112.0.0.0
- The different UA string is only applied when you select the "mobile site" view option.
This setting goes away when the browser is closed, so you can make the app stick to memory on Android by selecting the "keep open" option when you click the recents button -> long press the app icon. When you close the browser or restart the device, youˋll need to repeat the steps above.
Flies away.
Hey!
Does this solution still works for you? I tried doing that on my S9+ running Samsung Internet but the option won't show up. I'm yet to try doing it outside Dex though.
