= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Word for DOS versions 5.0 and 5.5 ignore responses to autosave prompts if line draw (CTRL+F5) is selected.

This problem occurs if you set the “autosave confirm:” field to Yes and you are working in line draw mode. When the confirm autosave message appears, Word allows you to press Y or N, but Word ignores the response. When you exit line draw, Word prompts you again to confirm autosaving.

The autosave feature is temporarily disabled when using line draw in Word version 5.5. Word 5.5 does not prompt you to confirm autosaving, regardless of the setting in Utilities Customize, whenever line draw is in use. The autosave confirm prompt occurs shortly after line draw is disabled.
