7. Automatic storage function
Have you been working on a long document for a while and suddenly your computer crashed or the power went out? If you have not saved manually in between because you were too absorbed in your work, everything is gone and you have to start over with the document.
Fortunately, there is the automatically adaptable memory function in Word.
Solution:
- Select Word Options, “Save” and individually set the time intervals at which an automatic Word backup should be made. You can also specify the file format (usually “docx”) and the storage location there.
See fig .: (click to enlarge)
Note:

However, you can also set everything here according to your own ideas.

8. Insert blank pages in Word
8. Insert blank pages in Word
Are you working on a document and suddenly you realize that a certain page is in the wrong place?
Let’s take the following example:
- We want to get the content of page 5 on page 2, or page 2 should become 3, page 4 should become 5, etc.
Solution:
- Place the cursor in front of the first word on page 2 and then click on the “Insert / Empty Page” tab
See fig .: (click to enlarge)
This inserts a page break on the page where your cursor was last, and creates a blank page in front of page 2. (You have now created a new page 2.) Now cut out the content of page 5 that you would like to move to a different position (highlight the content and then “CTRL” + X) and paste it at the beginning of the new blank page.
The now blank page 5 from which you have cut the content can be deleted from the document by removing the resulting page break from it.
