For both Excel and Word 2003, click Tools --> Options --> Save and make sure the "Save AutoRecover info every" checkbox is checked and then change the minutes box to 2.

For 2010 select File --> Options --> Save and make sure the "Save AutoRecover info every" checkbox is checked and then change the minutes box to 2.

For 2007 select the Office button --> Options --> Save and make sure the "Save AutoRecover info every" checkbox is checked and then change the minutes box to 2.

In Word 2007:
- Office button (this is the multicolor button at the top left)
- At the bottom of that window "word options"
- In the left column "Save"
- Here you can set the Auto recovery timing
