How offten do Excel spreadsheets auto save?

If a user spent several hours on a excel spreadsheet and the computer is
unresponsive (hung) what if anything can be done?

As often as you tell it to.
tools>options>save>

Hi K,

Depends on the version of Excel and on the settings of the user. If Excel
XP or 2003 AND they have set save autorecovery information, you might be
lucky. If not, they *might* be using autosave. If not, you're out of luck.

Consider my Autosafe utility:
