Among the many useful features of the Microsoft Office 2007
applications is AutoRecover. It involves saving all the data in the
Office 2007 application after a specific time interval so that it is
recovered in case there is a power outage or a system crash. All
your work or data in the Office application is saved automatically
after that specific time interval. This feature keeps you from
losing work you have done. By default, this AutoRecover interval is
set to 10 minutes in all the Office 2007 applications. However, it
is possible to change AutoRecover interval in Office 2007. If you
change AutoRecover interval in Office 2007 to less than 10 minutes
such as after every 5 minutes, you will be able to save your work or
data frequently. It will prove very helpful if you are facing
problems in the power supply or your operating system.
The option to change AutoRecover interval in Office 2007 is offered for
every application. Here we will use the example of Excel 2007. Follow
these steps to change AutoRecover interval in Office 2007:
1. Click
on the Office button.
2. Click
on the "Excel Options" button on the bottom of the resulting menu.
3. The
Excel Options dialog box will appear. Select Save on the left hand side
of the menu.
4.
Check the box for "Save AutoRecover information".
5.
Select how often you would like Excel to save the data for AutoRecover.
6. Click
OK.
You should not set the time to a very short time interval. Remember that
when working on larger worksheets or documents don't set the AutoRecover
to a very short time interval such as 1 minute because that may begin to
slow down the computer, as saving a large amount of data after each
minute will strain the computer.
