Auto saving
How do I do this?
Set up a configuration in the Microsoft Word program to save the document that I am working on automatically, and do that on a short interval of a minute or two? With a posible variable time range to choose from in minutes? |

By keying Control+S every "minute or two".

That's hardly automatic - which is certainly possible (though it would annoy
the hell out of me) - see http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org : By keying Control+S every "minute or two". HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac |

That's hardly automatic - which is certainly possible (though it would annoy the hell out of me) - see http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm It's locked into my muscle memory, and has become an automatic part of typing for me, to the extent that I do it when filling in text forms in webpages, because if I've been typing for a while, it must be time to hit control-S. (it is a little annoying when I accidentally bring up the "save webpage?" dialog--I need to reassign that command in my browser) The advantage of getting your fingers to memorize this combo is that you get in the habit of saving in just about every application. If you hardly notice you are doing it, it's unlikely to annoy. I think I do it more often than every minute or two, certainly every time I pause to think. I believe I developed this habit in a earlier Word version (Word 6?) that had the option to give you a dialog prompt "save now?" if it had been 10 minutes since the last save. Since that prompt was a super annoying interruption to my flow of thought, I quickly learned that if I always remembered to save myself, the prompt would not come up. Daiya |

Me too - but it still requires human intervention
