AutoRecover saves a temporary copy of the file when:
* A Word file is open and AutoRecover is turned on
* The first change is made to the file
* The AutoRecover save time interval passes (5 minutes--
you may change the time interval)
* Word has been idle for some time (the default is 30
seconds)
After AutoRecover saves the file, the file is only saved
at subsequent save intervals if further changes are
made. To keep from filling up your AutoRecover location
with unneeded files, AutoRecover files are automatically
deleted in the following situations:
* When the file is manually saved.
* The file is saved with a new file name using Save As.
* You close the file.
* You quit Word, whether you choose to save the file or
not.
* You turn off AutoRecover for the current workbook.
* You turn off AutoRecover by clearing the Save
AutoRecover info every check box.
Incidentally, the AutoRecover functions listed above
apply to Excel and PowerPoint as well.

I read that :"Contrary to popular opinion, the function
in Word to save 'autorecover information' every few
minutes does not save a copy of the document you are
working on. It is of possible help only in the event of a
crash" Is this true?
Is there anything what a word 7 user can do?
