I don’t know about you but I’m constantly working on important documents and don’t want to lose any work I have accomplished. Also, if your computer is set to timeout, hibernate, or standby you may lose your work as well when you log back in. By default Microsoft only saves every10 minutes but this is adjustable. I have mine set to every minute so that I’m assured not to lose any/much work even in the event of a power failure. Below shows how.
Step 1.) Below you will see I clicked on the circular button in the top left hand corner of Microsoft Office Word 2007. This will produce the following screenshot as shown below. Here you will want to click on the “Word Options” button.
Step 2.) Once you have click on the “Word Options” button as seen above you will be given the following dialog box as shown below. In the left pane you should see “Save” you will want to click on “Save.”
Step 3.) After you have clicked on “Save.” as shown in the screenshot above, this will produce the following screenshot as shown below. Here you will see “Save AutoRecover information every” and then next to it, it has a input box to select how many minutes you would like Word to autosave. As shown below I have selected 1 minute(s).
Step 4.) Click on “OK” and there you have it now instead of the default of ten minutes your document will be autosaved every minute.
