Changing Auto Save Time option in MS WORD

Microsoft Word  one of the best text editors, only one thing makes me disappointment regarding this application is that it is not available for free. Auto Save option is one of the feature in MS WORD 2007 and 2010, by default the auto save time option is set to ten minutes which can be changed to the time you want and also at your specified location  which can be done by following these simple steps:

1. Open your MS WORD 2007 if it's not opened.
2. Click on MS OFFICE button on the top ( if you are not clear see the image below)

3. Select Word Options which is at the bottom of the window.                                                                    
4. A new window opens where you can see different options like Popular, Display, Proofing etc.                 

5. Click on "Save" option tab and the window looks like below image

6. In the right side of window you can change auto save document format from a list represented in drop-down list default being .docx
7. By checking Auto Save Recovery Information minutes helps you in saving the document automatically after specified minutes default value is set to 10.
8.Auto file saving file location can be changed under Auto Recover Location , clear the default file location and enter the location where you want to save it, if you are not sure of where to save by clicking on browse button helps you in choosing location.

P.S:  In 2010 click on Word Button , similar procedure can be followed for EXCEL, POWERPOINT and OTHER MS OFFICE APPLICATIONS
