Default What the hell v.MS Office Autosave

I just lost 3 hours worth of work I did today because Word crashed and when I tried to use autosave, it fucking loaded the document from 12:02 PM yesterday and told me that was the last time I saved it when I've been hitting crtl+s every 5 fucking minutes Why is it doing this??? I looked in the folder that autosave is supposed to go into and nothing is there

That's why I save all my important word files or whatever on a jump drive. h:





I don't trust saved files on my computer. :hs:

that's why if you aren't a fucking retard you hard save every once in a while and don't trust MS autosave. Lesson learned.

I just said I've been hitting crtl+s every few minutes dioshit. For some reason when I got the application running again it reverted the document to yesterday at 12:02PM, even though when I opened it this morning at 7:10AM it was right where I left off at 4:30PM yesterday.

Well he said he was hittin ctrl+s which = file----->save. Isn't that hard saving?

Now doing nothing at all and let it save on it's own isn't smart. He was saving but I don't know why it did that. :thinking:

I've used MS Office for at least 12 years, I think I have a grasp on how to save files...I've never lost work on any PC other than this, and it's happene twice in the last 2 days.

But I forgot, you idiots specialize in assumptions and disbelief.

apparently you haven't been hitting ctrl + s cause then it would be saved...maybe you were hitting shift + s....is there a bunch of capital S's spaced throughout your paper h:
