Well, Microsoft made some big changes. Among new features and formatting modifications in Office 2007, the entire interface has been revamped.So the way you can change the AutoRecover Interval in 2007 is :-

Just click on the Office button in the top left corner, and choose "Word Options".

Click on Save in the left menu of the Options dialog box, making sure to check the "Save AutoRecover information" checkbox.

Here you can choose how often you want to save autorecover information. Don't make the interval too short, but it's really up to you.

Click the OK button when you are done. Thats it !!

To do this, click the Office Button, click the Word Options button, choose the Save category, and modify the second option down.

By default, AutoRecover saves every 10 minutes; mine is set at every minute.

One thing is to be remember that if you are working on larger documents, setting the AutoRecover to something like 1 minute might start to slow your computer down, since saving a large document in the background every minute will tax your computer.
