MS Word is not saving automatically

Asked By Melanie H Brown 30 points N/A Posted on - 04/04/2012

I have MS Office and it's not saving automatically when I'm typing long documents. I really need to have it fixed as soon as possible. I think my cousin changed some settings in it. What I have is MS Office 2007. Thanks for your help!

MS Word is not saving automatically

There is no option of AutoSave in MS Word 2007 because Microsoft has removed the option of AutoSave after MS Word 2003.

There is only automatic recovery feature available in MS Word 2007 designed for power outages.

It is better to use it as described below:-

• Open the MS Word 2007
• Click on the Office logo on top left
• Click below on Word Options
• Click on Save option on left panel
• Select on the check box for Save AutoRecover Information Every 10 Minutes
• In the Minutes list which is the default “10 minutes” set it to 1 minute.
• Now you can do your work
