[How To ] Use the Background Saves Option in MS Word

Posted on by Jeeves

By default, the Allow background saves option is turned on in Word.

This allows you to continue working in Word while a document is being saved. However, this eats up system memory. If you want to conserve resources, turn off this option.
To turn Allow background saves off, follow these steps: 

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Save tab. 
  2. Clear the Allow background saves check-box and click OK.
