Why still no AUTO SAVE in Excel 2007?

[THEGENE7]

There seems to be no Auto Save in Excel. The Auto Recovery has not worked
for any Excel program under certain conditons. I have lost and lost and lost
date. I get tired of clicking save every time I stop working on a document.
I guess I am going to have to buy a program that does it, and there are a lot
of ones out there. I have not been able to get Microsoft to ever say why
that took the add-in out, but it seems like a very stupid move. Does anyone
out there know of a good free program for this, or one that is not 20 dollars
or more. I don't need the tons of bells and whistles on those programs, nor
to I want them. Just a simple Auto Save.

Perhaps use this to do a Save?

There's an autosave feature in XL 07; it's just hidden. See here for

Jan Karel Pieterse has an addin called AutoSafe
which doen't alert before saving.

It doesn't overwrite the existing workbook when it saves. It saves to a user
selectable folder. And when it's done, it either deletes these backups (or
puts them in the recycle bin). And the user can always restore the backups
from the recycle bin.

Autosave.xla from Office 2000 or 97 will work with Excel 2002 or 2003.
If you have a previous copy, move it to your Office\Library.
To download the 97 version see here........

I've never tried it in xl2007. You may want to do some testing before you rely

Hello Every Body I am Dario in Haiti for active the auto save in excel 2007 you must do a right on the menu bar, after that choose "Customize Quick Access Toolbar". Choose "Save" in the Excel options
Check "Save Autorecover information every" and put on text box the time that you want to do the autosave.

Thanks for posting, but your instructions are for activating "AutoRecovery" not
"AutoSave"

Autorecovery only creates a temporary file for recovery in case Excel crashes
while you are working on a file.

If the working file is saved and closed, that temporary file is
deleted................not saved.

Excel 2007 has NO AutoSave feature.

Follow the following steps to auto save MS Office Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007 To prevent data loss:

[Step 1] At first, open the Microsoft Office 2007 file. In this example, I open a Microsoft Office Word 2007 file. But the steps will be applicable for all type of Microsoft Office Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007file.

[Step 2] Click on Customize Quick Access Toolbar at the top of the opened file and a drop down menu will be appeared. Choose More Commands... form the drop down toolbar.


[Step 3] Choose "save" option form left pane and then you can change the settings for auto save.

Thanks

I may have missed some of this discussion, perhaps because of Kill-file
settings, but in case it has not been mentioned, here is my route to
Autosave set up in 2007.

File>Options>Save

There will be differences for "Save files in this format" among Excel,
Word, etc.
