Hi abbyjoyous,
Yes auto save isn't yet a feature of Pages, I too hope they'll include it in the next update.
Knowing it isn't there, at least once every five minutes I hit the save button; how difficult is that? It's now my responsibility to do that; I don't pass the onus to someone else.
By the way, though MS Word has that feature it doesn't always work as one thinks it should. Too many times we couldn't recover files for folks, auto save didn't save them. They then would say "But Word has Auto Save"; sorry it didn't work this time, oh-well. Suggestion, check the MS Word forum for Auto Save.
Yes I know the above isn't of any help to you. In all do respect, your last paragraph was a bit harsh, the same as saying I quit eating because my previous meal was terrible.
To reiterate what I said above, it's my hope Pages next update will have auto save, it's needed. Allow me to suggest sending Apple feed back with your concerns. Click Pages > Provide Pages Feedback. Doing it that way rather than here will get directly to the Pages team.
The more feedback the more likely we'll see improvements we desire. I've sent in many.
Have a pleasant day.
Sincerely,
RicD
