Random power offs will affect any app. Systems do not like sudden power drops and it will cause data damage as well as physical damage to system components.

Have you considered a UPS?

There is an autosave feature you can use. Go to Tools > Options... > Load/Save > General and make sure 'Save AutoRecovery information ...' is checked. You may want to set a shorter interval as well.

If your data is AutoSaved before the power fails, you will be told that the document can be recovered. If you ask for it to be recovered, then it will be correct up to the last AutoSave point.
