Word autosaves to a location the user specifies, default is %APPDATA%\Roaming\Microsoft\Word, which is just under %APPDATA%\Roaming\calibre.
Word autosaves at an interval the user specifies, default is 10 minutes can be as little as 1 minute
If you want version control embedded in Word (Excel, Powerpoint or Visio) then there are several addins available, including the one I use for Excel - Tortoise Subversion client, it plugs right into the Fluent Ribbon..
My out of town retreat has a very poor power supply - wouldn't be a month go by when we don't lose power altogether or suffer large voltage drops - in summer it's more like once a week. I don't know how many times we have turned on computers in the morning - fired up Word or Excel and recovered to within a few minutes of the outage - and we've been doing it for at least 20 years.
