To enable fast saving, follow these steps if you are using a version of Word prior to Word 2007 (fast saving is not available in Word 2007): Every so often, Word rewrites the whole file to start with a clean copy. Fast saving results in your file being saved normally the first time it is put on the disk, and then subsequent saves simply append your changes to the end of the original file. This is especially true if you are working with very large files-for instance, ones that contain a lot of graphic images.
This method is referred to as fast saving, and can cut the time necessary to save your file to disk. Word supports a unique method of saving your document.
