History question about MS Word autosave
I seem to remember that Word once upon a time saved the file you're working on every n minutes. This save, saved your file to the file you'd opened on disk. This is very different from the new autosave/autorecovery feature. Am I misremembering. |

Yes, you are misremembering.
What you are remembering is AutoRecover. See Automatically backup Word documents by Graham Mayor, MVP. |

AutoRecover was there in Word 2003 and I suspect introduced with Word 2000 but I do not remember.
AutoSave was attempted, I think, in Word 2003 but did not work. It was introduced in its current form with Word 2007 and the predecessor of OneDrive. Graham Mayor's utility is more reliable than either. |
