Just to clarify, I'm referring to the AutoRecover feature.
When I check Word's Tools/Options/Save screen, I see "Save AutoRecover info
every [10] minutes". I see this both in standalone Word, and also when I edit
an email using Word as an email editor.
My experience of standalone Word is that when I'm working on a new file,
Word keeps saving AutoRecover information, so that if I have a system crash
and have to reboot, Word permits me to recover the file. This is true even
when I haven't yet saved the file for the first time.
I've designated Word as my an email editor in Outlook, and I see the same
setting "Save AutoRecover info every [10] minutes". But in Outlook, if I'm
working on an email and I have a system crash, I'm never presented with the
option to recover the file. That's the problem I'm trying to solve.
