Word AutoRecover Question

[Guest]

IL've got 'Allow background saves' checked, but every 10 minutes (my
AutoRecover interval) the screen and keyboard 'freeze' while the document is
saved. On a large document, this takes several seconds and really puts a
hiccup in my data-entry rhythm. I do not have 'Allow fast saves' checked,
because I've got the idea that this will clutter the file with a lot of
bits-n-pieces temporary data. The Help file on this is not too clear; for
instance:

1) Does a Ctrl+S save do an global document save
even when 'Allow fast saves' is checked? The
Help file says to turn this off when doing a final save.
2) And, does a Ctrl+S save get rid of any temporary
bits-n-pieces files? How is the document best
restored to one complete file when the editing is
done?

Thanks and regards to all, -Jim

Do _not_ enable "Fast Saves" ever.
