[John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macintosh]]

Hi Beth:

Yeah: Take it away! And bring back the old mechanism that used to work.

If we must, rename the useless one to "Change logging." Because that's what
it does: it logs the changes to a file. But only if the file has already
been saved :-)

Cheers

The option was called AutoSave at one point then it was changed to "Save
AutoRecover information". Do you have a suggestion that could help make it
more clear?

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
To think for years I have been relying on this - to no avail.
Ignorance is NOT (now) bliss!!!
Why don't Microsoft make this clearer?

I have recently lost some Word docs, despite having autosave set to 1
minute.
Journal was switched off, so no joy there.
Any ideas?!
Thanks a million.
