SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel version 4.0 (and version 4.0a for Windows), the Help topic for the AutoSave add-in macro incorrectly states that the frequency of the Low option is 30 minutes.

MORE INFORMATION
The following table lists the actual frequency of save intervals in the AutoSave add-in macro:

  Option   Frequency ---

High     3 minutes Medium   9 minutes Low     27 minutes

NOTE: In Microsoft Excel versions 5.0 and later, the AutoSave add-in macro allows you to specify the exact number of minutes between automatic saves.

The Auto Save add-in macro automatically saves worksheets at the intervals you select. It is installed as part of the Macro Library. For more information, see &quot;Macro Library Overview&quot; and &quot;Auto Save&quot; in Help.
