I think even Excel has only an automatic backup or auto recovery.

Hi Stephanie-

The question is 'Are the changes being saved' even though you aren't
prompted? If so, you are probably working in a version of Word that
uses
Auto Save.

Look in the Tools Menu to see if Auto Save appears there & is checked.
If
so, just select it to remove the check.

If this isn't the case, indicate your version of Word when you post
back.

Regards |:)

I have always been able to just hit the exit button in Word and it
asks
me if
I want to save my document. I'm talking when I DO make changes.
Recently, I
hit the exit button after doing my work, and it doesn't prompt me to
save my
changes. I didn't turn anything off, I don't think. I'm so used to
just
hitting the "X" now without going to File then Save As that I want
this
feature turned back on. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Stephanie Terry
