Please add Auto-Save (this is not the same thing as Restore)

[philipt18]

Please add an Auto-Save feature that will save the document at a set interval of time.

This is not the same as the current Restore feature where if an unsaved document is found when starting up, it offers to restore it. There are two main differences. The first, is that Restore doesn't always work - I just lost several days of work when Publisher crashed, and I was not offered to restore it. The second difference is that saving the document with changes allows backup software like Time Machine to back up the saved files.

Right now if you have a file open for a week and forget to save the document, and there is a crash, Time Machine would never have backed it up (because in the file system it never changed), and if the restore feature doesn't kick in you're out of luck.

Sure, in an ideal world everyone would remember to Save often, but frankly I think it's absurd that software intended for professionals even has a possibility of losing data. Please add Auto-Save.
