Everyone who works on a computer knows the frustration and heartbreak of losing your work.
Sometimes a Microsoft Office program closes before you can save changes to a file you are working on. Some possible causes include: a power outage occurs, Your system is made unstable by another program, something goes wrong with the Microsoft Office program itself. Among the many useful features of the Microsoft Office 2007 applications is Auto Recover. It involves saving all the data in the Office 2007 application after a specific time interval so that it is recovered in case there is a power outage or a system crash.
All your work or data in the Computer Office application is saved automatically after that specific time interval. This feature keeps you from losing work you have done. By default, this Auto Recover interval is set to 10 minutes in all the Office 2007 applications. However, it is possible to change Auto Recover interval in Office 2007. If you change Auto Recover interval in Office 2007 to less than 10 minutes such as after every 5 minutes, you will be able to save your work or data frequently. It will prove very helpful if you are facing problems in the power supply or your operating system.
The option to change Auto Recover interval in your computer Office 2007 is offered for every application.
Here we will use the example of Word 2007. Follow these steps to change Auto Recover interval in Office 2007:
1. Click on the Office button
2. Click on the “Word Options” button on the bottom of the resulting menu.
3. The Word Options dialog box will appear.
4. Select Save on the left hand side of the menu.
5. Check the box for “Save Auto Recover information”.
6. Select how often you would like Word to save the data for Auto Recover.
7. Click OK
You should not set the time to a very short time interval.
Remember that when working on larger worksheets or documents don’t set the Auto Recover to a very short time interval such as 1 minute because that may begin to slow down the computer.
