Saving by default in MS Word

[Maryn]

Having trouble with Word intermittently forgetting to save! Rang MS, they said once the "Prompt to save normal template" option in Tools, Options, Save is ticked this would not be a problem - however, this doesn't solve the problem! 8 times out of 10 when exiting a document you are prompted to save, but then there are those times (usually when in a hurry or a big document that's taken hours to type!) it just forgets to give you the option. I tend to save as I am going along but it would be nice to be able to rely on the software also! Has anyone encountered this and managed to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

I've never had a problem with it. Mine even prompts to save when the only change I made was to print the document. I suspect that you may need to reinstall your copy of Office, but others who know more about it may have a better idea...

Just making sure - do you have the Allow Background Saves and Save Auto RecoverInfo boxes checked? (I have Word 2000 btw)
