I'm in Windows XP and using Outlook 2003, with Word 2003 as my email editor.

When I use Word for standalone editing I have the Word options set so that
Word autosaves my open files every 10 minutes. But this does not seem to work
in Outlook. When I had a system crash and had to reboot, Outlook and Word did
not recover the unsent emails that I was composing at the time of the crash.

How do I get Word to autosave/recover documents when I'm using it as my
Outlook editor?

Thanks.

There is no autosave in Word. Only autosave recovery information. This is
somewhat hit and miss, and won't occur at all until after the ten minutes
have elapsed. There is no substitute for saving often.
