    Are you referring to the "Save AutoRecover information every X minutes" option at File > Options > Save? That option is potentially useful after Word has crashed, but you can't use it as a replacement for manual saving. Press Ctrl+S regularly.

    AutoSave only works with documents on OneDrive or SharePoint. It is imperfect.

    See: Automatically backup Word documents by Graham Mayor, MVP for more information and a solution.
