Files saved by auto-recover are only available in the event of abnormal
program termination. If you close a document or Word without saving an open
file, any changes made to that file will not be saved.
I would suggest that you return the frequency of auto recover saves to
something like the default 10 minutes so that the saving operation does not
interfere with your work.

I have recently lost a document. I have already turned on auto recover,
set
a different folder to save it in and set the frequency for 1 min saves.
Word
is not automatically saving a "auto recover" file. Can anybody please h
