auto save question "Bruce" <notreally[ at ]idontwantoo.com> 6/14/2007 11:50:12 PM When you have auto save checked, do you have to save the document once first before it will start saving it? If the computer crashes, and you have not saved it at least once, what does it save it under then? (that is if you don't have to save it at least once first) thanks Bruce

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/AutomaticSave.htm , http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm , and http://www.gmayor.com/save_numbered_versions.htm .

And then save periodically as you work on it even with autosaves turned on.
