How to Automatically Save Files

http://live.pirillo.com/ – This is a public service announcement from Chris Pirillo Media:

Automatic saving is a godsend. If your application supports automatic saving, we highly recommend you use it, because you can literally save hours of work. Never again will you have to rewrite your English paper because your computer crashed, or the power went out. Never again will you have to recalculate the company’s expense budget from a blue screen of death.

Automatic saving: it’s worth it.

Pre-Office 2003 Excel used to have the Autosave as an Add-In – I recommend installing it!

And for all other office apps, set the autosave to 5 minutes instead of the default 10! Also, don’t use ‘Fast Save’ option in Word, as this makes your file unnecessarily bigger, since it only records the changes and not a refresh of the document in question (i.e. it holds all your deletions and changes from save to save).

Another handy way is to have Offline Files set up and Synchronise periodically…
