About Preventing Loss of Work

Tags:
word processing

Overview Microsoft Word includes a number of ways to back up and recover the documents. The user can further protect the work by using the AutoRecover feature to periodically save a temporary copy of the file one is working on. To recover work after a power failure or similar problem, one must have turned on the AutoRecover feature before the problem occurred. One can set the AutoRecover save interval to occur more frequently than every 10 minutes (its default setting). For example, if the user sets it to save every 5 minutes, one will recover more information than if the user set it to save every 10 minutes.
