auto saves
when working in word, the program continually halts (as in after 30 seconds)
and apparently backs itself up or does something showing me an hour glass. I can't type until it clears and I put the mouse back where it stopped. How can this be corrected? |

auto saves
Hi Bill:
Go to ToolsOptionsSave... Set "Save AutoRecover..." to 10 minutes. Set "Allow background saves" to ON Ensure "Allow Fast Saves" remains OFF. Your AutoRecover is set too low, which is why you are noticing the saves so often. Your background saves setting is what is actually causing the problem: if that is off, you get the hour glass for the duration of each save. "Allow fast saves" is a holdover from the days of floppy disks: it can actually make saves to hard disk "slower", but it also corrupts documents :-) Cheers On 16/3/06 9:37 AM, in article , "bill" wrote: when working in word, the program continually halts (as in after 30 seconds) and apparently backs itself up or does something showing me an hour glass.
