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 help?

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.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
