Excel 2000

[Robert Schweitzer]

Within excel is there an automatical save after x amount
of minutes? There are times when I am working on a
document and if the power goes out I lose all my
information if I do not save regularly. Please let me know

Thank you,

Robert

Robert,

Go "Tools" -> "Add-Ins..." then put a check next to "Autosave Add-in"

Once completed you may want to make sure it is selected to be used just go
"Tools" and make sure that "AutoSave..." is checked off.

That would depend upon which version of Excel you are using. Always best to
state that info.

XL2002....has Autorecovery, which does not make incremental saves but if Excel
crashes you can recover the file to the last spot in the autorecovery
cycle(you can set that in Tools>Options>Save). If Excel does not crash, the
autorecovery temp file is deleted when workbook is closed.

Earlier versions had an Autosave add-in which made incremental saves at the
time of your choosing. Once saved, there is no going back.
