Microsoft Word- How do you set it to autosave every few minutes?

Question

Hi, I'm currently typing an essay on Microsoft Word, but I don't know how to autosave so that in case I forget to save the document by myself; it's saved at least the majority of it. How do you do it?

Answer 1

From a Word document:
Tools
Options
Save
cl in the box for "autorrecovery info" and type in the number of minutes - usually 10
**********************
You can also have Word create a backup. Same place. click in the first box to "always create a backup."

This will always be the last saved version of your file. These types of backups appear at the top of the folder list and are easily deleted when you are sure you are finished with a document. They come in handy if you mess up royally.

Answer 2

You must press "Ctrl + S" every minute
or
You can go for Microsoft Office 2007, the MS word application has a auto-save feature. i have no idea of the previous versions.
