Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / May 2008Autosave closes comment editing
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: intel If I am adding a comment and autosave gets triggered, then the comment is immediately closed when the autosave is performed. I then have to click and select EDIT to continue from where I left off. I don't seem to remember it working this way with PowerPoint on Windows. Hmm. I'm not seeing this. > Hmm. I'm not seeing this. I set autosave to '1' minute in preferences I've been reviewing a lot of presentations and I use the comments to cover recommended changes. g/ I'm not sure I can solve your original problem, but to clarify one very significant misconception - there is NO AutoSave feature in PowerPoint [or any of the other apps: Mac/Win Word, Excel]. What you are referring to is Save AutoRecover Info which is a totally separate & distinct feature. Take a look at the following from the MS Help site for clarification: <http://office.microsoft.com/client/helppreview.aspx?AssetID=HP101407291033&Query ID=ZUNDLH8io0&respos=3&rt=2&ns=WINWORD&lcid=1033&pid=CH100964821033> Having it set to that frequency may be the cause of or a contributor to the problem.

However, you need only click the Comment to resume. Resetting the AutoRecover time frame to no less than 10 minutes should alleviate the problem, but you may still want to use Help> Send Feedback to lodge the point in the MS data file - fully explain why it is an annoyance & an interruption to your workflow.
