You can set the user's "Home" folder to the server. If you do, that's where
Word's AutoSaves will go.

But I STRONGLY suggest that you should not do this currently. There's a bug
that may prevent your users from saving AT ALL.

Instead, assign each user a local folder, then use scripts to copy it up
from the server at login, and down to the server at logout.

Cheers
