Tip 14: More Frequent Auto Saves In Microsoft Word

Here’s another Microsoft Word Tip. Saving your work is always important, in order to prevent frustrating data loss. Luckily, if you sometimes forget to save, Word auto saves your progress at a default setting of every 10 minutes. You can even shorten this amount of time and make auto saves more frequent. Here’s how you do it:

1. Open Microsoft Word

2. With a document open, go File > System Preferences (Command-,)

3. In the Output and Sharing section, select Save

4. You will see a checkbox next to “Save AutoRecover info every (set amount of time) minutes”

5. Enter the amount of time between auto saves

Note: I believe you have to save one time manually, before the auto save function works.

This tip concludes today’s Microsoft Word tips.
