There is no 'autosave' in Word. What there is, is save auto-recovery
information and a 1 minute interval is too short. 10 minutes would be
better.
If you want to automatically save, there is a workaround -

Never work from removable media in Word it is a recipe for disastrous data
loss. Always copy to the hard drive and work from there, then copy back to
the flash drive. The above link also includes a macro to facilitate that.

I am getting the above error message every minute or so in my document.
It
stops everything in its tracks until you hit OK.
Word 2003, running on XP, updated through most current update
I am working off a flash drive: both my document and my custom template
are
on the flash drive. Could this be the problem.
I like auto save & have auto recover set to 1 minute in Options. Is Auto
Save the same as auto recover? must I give up Auto Save to work off of the
flash drive?
