Prompt Word to save?

I have always been able to just hit the exit button in Word and it asks me if
I want to save my document. I'm talking when I DO make changes. Recently, I
hit the exit button after doing my work, and it doesn't prompt me to save my
changes. I didn't turn anything off, I don't think. I'm so used to just
hitting the "X" now without going to File then Save As that I want this
feature turned back on. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Stephanie Terry
 
I don't think that's what's being asked. It sounds
more like a changed document just "closes" instead of
asking to Save Changes first, as is normal.

I invite the OP to clarify.

Hi Stephanie-

The question is 'Are the changes being saved' even though you aren't
prompted? If so, you are probably working in a version of Word that uses
Auto Save.

Look in the Tools Menu to see if Auto Save appears there & is checked. If
so, just select it to remove the check.

If this isn't the case, indicate your version of Word when you post back.

I think even Excel has only an automatic backup or auto recovery.
