Can we ensure that Word will save your documents automatically.

The answer is Yes but there is a but!

Here we show you how.

The steps involved to save your documents are:

• Turn on AutoRecover
• Set the Save Interval i.e how many minutes between each save

We do this by clicking then and then click the Save Tab

Our advice is not to rely entirely on AutoRecover because you can get corruption
Having selected an AutoRecover Save Frequency, Microsoft Word will automatically save a temporary backup of your document. This will enable you to recover your document in the event of a disaster

After a crash Microsoft Word will attempt to recover your document
by displaying the Document Recovery Pane.

Note that 2 files are visible here

• "Original" (You saved this one manually)
• "Recovered" (Saved by AutoRecover)

  Your job now is to check each copy of the document and retain the best one

  We strongly recommend that you save your documents on external devices also
  Floppy Disks, CD ReWritables, Memory Sticks or External Hard Drives
