You can lose a lot of work in 10 minutes, so it's a good idea to shorten the interval: If it has a downside, however, it's that the default interval that Word uses to save the AutoRecover data is too long: 10 minutes. If Word goes down for the count, it can use the AutoRecover data to help you recover some or all of your work.ĪutoRecover has saved me on a number of occasions, so I'm a big fan of this feature. As a safety net, Word has an AutoRecover feature that automatically stores information about the changes you've made to your document since the last save. However, it's easy to forget to save when you're busy and a deadline looms large. Most of us have become friendly with the Ctrl+S shortcut for the Save command and use it as often as possible. We've all experienced that moment of horror (sometimes called the ohnosecond) when we realize that Word has locked solid and we haven't saved for awhile, so all our recent work is toast. No one who has used Word for any length of time needs to be convinced of the importance of saving a document regularly. Recovering More of Your Work with a Shorter AutoRecover Interval This chapter introduces you to many of the techniques that cover everything, from easier ways to save and protect your documents to scripts that calculate editing time and billable time. Word is chock full of tricks, shortcuts, and settings that can make working with documents faster, easier, more powerful, and more efficient. However, working with documents doesn't just mean using the commands on the Office menu (Open, Save, Close, and so on). The document is the basic Word container, and knowing how to work with documents is a fundamental Word skill. If you're a regular Word user, then you probably work with many different Word documents during an average work day, and you've probably got hundreds or even thousands of Word documents stored on your hard drive.
