Hi Geoffrey, before you do anything please check if you have enough free space in your disk.
Then you might want to check at Word -> Preferences -> Personal Settings -> File Locations
I get message “Word is unable to save the AutoRecover file in the location you have specified.” How do I specify a location for the AutoRecover file in MS Word 2008 (on a Mac)? I don’t find any such option under Preferences.
there is no autosave in Mac Word 2008. The feature is autorecover and MIGHT save a temporary file if Word or your computer crashes. You must explicitly save your document to have the most current changes you have made.
