There are several users in our office who work frequently in Excel but who are apparently allergic to the Save button. Occasionally, there are issues when they have system crashes or power outages and their files disappear. I know there is a functionality in MS Word that allows for auto save every 10 minutes (default), but have not seen one in MS Excel. Does anyone know if there is one? Thanks for any input! Give me liberty, or give me pizza...

Auto Save in MS Excel
- Thread starter Chopstik
- Start date
On the Tools menu, click AutoSave. If the AutoSave command is not on the Tools menu, you must install the AutoSave add-in.
Select the Automatic save every check box.
In the Minutes box, enter how often you want Microsoft Excel to save workbooks.
Select any other options you want.
Click OK, and you're done!

Hey Chopstik,
If you go into "tools". "Add-Ins" there is an add-in called Autosave. Install this and you will then be able to select "Autosave".
