AFAIK, there's nothing about any app ‹ Office or otherwise ‹ that should
cause what you describe. This sounds more OS/file system related.
Make certain that Office & OS X are fully updated. In fact, it would be a
good idea to retrieve the OS X 10.6.3 Combo Update from the Apple Downloads
site & apply it even if you have already applied what Software Update
delivered. Run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions afterward, then shut
down your Mac. Let it sit a minute or so before starting up.
BTW: Just so you don't get blind-sided somewhere along the line... There is
no "autosave" in Word or any of the Mac Office apps. 'Save AutoRecover Data'
is a feature designed to help protect against the loss of unsaved changes in
the event of a catastrophic failure. It provides an opportunity to recover
that data from a temporary file on next launch but isn't always successful,
& under no circumstances does it save changes to the working file itself.
