[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1625437, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums First... The autosave feature in Mac Word 2011 (and 2008) is broken and does not work. Do not rely on using it as you will lose your document. To get rid of that error, open Word preferences and go to "File Locations". Select your documents folder as the autosave location even though it doesn't work. Next... and this is important: In preferences, go to "Save". Place a check in the box that says "Always create backup copy". That will ensure that in the event of an error, you will at least have a backup copy of the document before it was edited. [/QUOTE]
