This is a quck start that help you to understand how to setup AutoSave to work for your program.
Let's assume you want to setup AutoSave to save for Excel.
- Run Excel, and switch to AutoSave. </ li>
- Remove the existing Excel entry from the program list in AutoSave if any. </ li>
- There is a drop down list in the AutoSave main windows. Drop down it and select Excel from the list. </ li>
- There is a little box under the label "Hot Key". Click on it, then press the key combination Ctrl+S (hold down Ctrl then press S). Then click the button "Add" to add the hotkey. </ li>
- You may also like to change the interval from 5 minutes to 10 seconds to test quickly. </ li>
- Now, click button "New". Then Excel will be in the program list. </ li> </ ol>
Now switch back to Excel. Create a new document, do some inputing in it for at least longer than the interval you set, you will find a "Save As" dialog will pop up to let your specify a location and a file name. That means AutoSave really works. And after saved the new document, AutoSave will continuously save the document when the interval is met again.
These steps can also work for any other applications such like MS Word, Adobe Photoshop, etc.
