Are there any settings to make automatic save ?

For automatic save and recover of microsoft office files, you can visit the following link to get useful directions in auto-saving data: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/automatically-save-and-recover-office-files-HP010140729.aspx example: To Enable the AutoSave Feature on Microsoft Word 2007, you have to:
1- Open the Microsoft Word 2007 application on your computer
2- Click on the Microsoft Office button in any open Word session.
This button is a logo of Microsoft Windows and is in the upper-left corner of Word.

3- Select the "Word Options" button in the bottom of the window that appears.

4- Choose "Save" in the left pane
5- Click on the arrow in the drop-down menu next to "Save files in this format" to select "Word 97-2003 document."
6- Place a check mark next to the "Save AutoRecover information every x minutes" section
7- Specify how often you want Word to save your document and program state by clicking on the arrows in the minutes section
8- Modify your saved file locations next to the fields of "AutoRecover file location" and "Default file location" if you want to change the file storage locations.

9- Click the "OK" button to apply and save your settings.
Note: Your system will not save any work you have done after the last AutoSave if it shuts down.
For example, if you set Word to save your work every 10 minutes, and your system shuts down 8 minutes after the last AutoSave, any work done during that 8 minutes will not be saved.
