Does saving occur at intervals?

[larrylook]

I typed a few paragraphs, didn't save, and went to print. Computer crashed.
Is document lost? Does Word save document at certain time intervals? How
do you retrieve document or is it not retrievable?

Word can make AutoRecover backups at intervals if you so choose; if the
computer crashes, the most recent saved version should be presented to you
the next time you start Word. But by all means don't depend on this method
of saving. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/AutomaticSave.htm
