Excel Save

When entering text in Excel I have to save after every 10 or 12 entries, if I do not eventually I lose all the entries, please advise if you have an idea.

Why do you lose all the entries? Are you getting some sort of error message?

Excel Save

The Excel is in Office 97, the rest of the office works fine, scanned for virus none found. Would it help to install Office 97 over itself?

I use Excel 97 about 7-8 hours per day at work, and I do not have any problem with data disappearing if I do not do a save every few minutes. I also do not have the AUTO SAVE turned on. There must be some other problem. I believe you could uninstall Excel 97 and then re install it. I do not know about installing it over itself. Just my two cents.
