Autosaving work in Office
If your work isn't autosaving it is likely due to it being set to be an open text document which cannot be auto-saved. It needs to be changed to a docx.
Step 1:
Open up Word and click on File

Step 2:
Open options at the bottom of the screen

Step 3:
This opens up a window. Click on save.

Step 4
Change the "save files in this format" to Word Document (*.docx)
It is the same proccess in both Powerpoint and Excel.
