Where is the auto save option in Microsoft Office 2016 for Word and Power Point?

Solution 1:

This is not auto-save however. This simply sets the interval at which Excel will generate an auto-save file should there be a crash. If you close without saving, this file is immediately deleted. If the crash doesn't meet Microsoft's definition of a crash, the file is deleted. If you don't open Excel properly the next time, the auto-recover won't show and the file will be deleted.

What most people want, myself included, is a true autosave. Once you create a file, name it and save it once, it will continue to save it again at a set interval. Microsoft does not offer this option.

Solution 2:

The Autosave function only works if you have a file saved to OneDrive or SharePoint Online.
