The Office 2003 applications - specifically Excel, Word and PowerPoint - don't have an auto-save feature. They DO have an auto-recover function in case the application crashes but, it doesn't always work. In response to a few Marathon employees losing some work, I decided to create a collection of AutoSaver Utilities.
These little utilities will prompt you to Save all your Excel, Word or PowerPoint (depending on which one(s) you have running) documents at an interval you set. Simply start the utility by double clicking the EXE file and then input how many minutes you would like between prompts to Save. You can run all of them at the same time and put in different time intervals for each - it's up to you. You won't be asked for a file name unless it's a new document you haven't saved yet in which case you will choose where to save it and what to call it. If at any point you answer no to the prompt to save, no saving will be done and the utility will stop running. You can restart it at any time.
