Hi all
OS: Windows 7
Office 2007
The autosave functionality does not seem to be working when using an excel document. I have gone into Excel Options-->Save
The 'Save AutoRecover information every' is checked and I have even set it to 1 but documents still do not seem to autosave.
A couple of questions:-
1. From my understanding, please correct me if im wrong. Autosave is a feature to help prevent data loss. In the sense that if a document has not been manually saved, the autosave function 'kicks in' (depending on whats specified) incase the computer crashes/dies/excel dies etc and saves the information.
2. If the above is correct. I've also tried to see if the Autosave function indeed works. Which according to my tests doesn't. I've set the Autorecover information to to 1 minute. Waited and waited, gone past a minute and then to test it I've performed an End Process (excel.exe) and then fired up excel and when im prompted with the autosave document on the left handside , the changes that I created aren't there when i select that document.
What on earth am I doing wrong?
The only thing I haven't done is short of re-installing office or running a repair installation.
Any suggestions before I try the above.
Thanks
Asif
