Safeguarding a Document

At one time or another, you’ve probably lost some work on your computer. Whether you forgot to save a file or were the victim of a power outage, it’s a frustrating and depressing experience that you vow will never happen again. You can safeguard your work and prevent most losses by using the AutoRecover feature, which remembers to save files even when you don’t.

Set Up the Safeguards

  1. In Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, click the Office button, click the program’s Options button on the menu, and, in the program’s Options dialog box, click the Save category in the left pane. In Publisher, choose Options from the Tools menu, and click the Save tab of the Options dialog box.

  2. Select this check box if it isn’t already selected.

  3. Set a short interval to specify how often you want the AutoRecover information to be saved.

  4. Make any program-specific settings for AutoRecover.

  5. Click OK.

In Word, you can further safeguard your files by automatically creating a backup copy of your document each time you save it. You can also create a local copy of a document that you’ve opened from a network location. Make these settings in the Save section of the Advanced category in the Word Options dialog box.
