Save files Automatically when I work

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Save tab

2. Select the Save AutoRecover info every check box

3. In the minutes box, enter the interval for how often you want to save files. The more frequently your files are saved, the more information is recovered if there is a power failure or similar problem while a file is open.

Note: AutoRecover is not a replacement for regularly saving your files. If you choose not to save the recovery file after opening it, the file is deleted and your unsaved changes are lost. If you save the recovery file, it replaces the original file (unless you specify a new file name).
