Hi Ralph,
Glad that the Auto-recover feature helped
For anyone else reading the thread, you can set the frequency (minutes between saves) and number of backup iterations to save in File/Auto-save Options.
If you have a crash for any reason (any other software that crashes your machine, memory failure, etc.) then you'll still only lose the last few minutes of your work (ie. only what you did since the last auto-save). Auto-save works in the background so you don't even see it working usually (and may not even realize it's there
).
All you'll need to do to get your last working file is to use File/Auto-save file recovery, and find the filename you were working on. The latest saved file has a "1" on it, the next-to-last is "2" and so forth back down the line.
It's saved my hide more than once, too
ttfn,
Sherry
