Excel has AutoRecover turned on by default. Excel 2003 - Tools/Options/Save.
Excel 2007 - Office Button/Excel Options/Save. You may look there to see how
often Excel saves your workbook and where it saves it. Excel saves a copy of
your workbook every 10 minutes by default. The workbook saved by Excel does
not replace your workbook; it is a copy. However, you should save your
workbook regularly. If you don't, it is obvious that your workbook is not
all that important to you.

I have the tendency to forget to regularly save my work by clicking the
"save" icon.Does anyone know if there is a way to set up an "Auto save"
function in Excel?
