Protecting your Documents

If your computer crashes from time to time due to unforeseen circumstances, and you write in Microsoft Word a lot, you might want to protect your work from being lost. You can set up your Word to save your document automatically after a certain amount of time elapses. That way you will be able to work normally even if you experience electricity shortcuts, viruses, or other surprises. You can set up your Word to save your documents automatically by following these easy steps:
1. Go to Tools menu and choose here Options.
2. Now the window will pop up with many tabs to choose. Choose the Save tab.
3. Check the option “Always create backup copy” to allow creating additional copy of your document with extension .wbk.
4. Check the “Save AutoRecover info” and set the number of minutes after which you would like your Word to save your documents automatically.
5. Press OK to finish the process.
Writing documents is hard work, so I think that it is quite apparent why you would want to protect your documents. Allowing Word to save your documents automatically, and making regular backups, should be enough to guarantee that your hard work will not be lost.
