Setting AutoRecover Options

Correspondence Manager creates a recovery document if the system closes unexpectedly, as in the case of a power failure. Your work is saved automatically in a recovery file if AutoRecover is activated in Microsof® Word.

For more information about the recovery process, see Recovering Documents.

Important:

  • You must close Correspondence Manager and Dashboard before setting the AutoRecover option.
  • The automatic recovery does not replace the Save command. You must manually save your work when you are finished making changes.
  • If you want to turn off the AutoRecover option, you must set the minutes to 0 (zero) prior to clearing the option.

To set AutoRecover options, do the following:

  1. If open, close Correspondence Manager and Dashboard.
  2. Open Microsoft® Word.
    1. Select File > Options.
    2. Select Save on the Word Options left panel.
    3. Select Save AutoRecover information every.
    4. Enter the interval with which the system should save your changes in a recovery file.
    5. Click OK.
  3. Close Microsoft® Word.

Your work in Correspondence Manager will be saved automatically at the interval specified.  If the system closes unexpectedly before the first automatic save, even if you have saved manually, there will be no recovery document. After at least one automatic save has occurred, the recovery is either the last manual save or the last automatic save, whichever is more recent.
