Word "Save as" saves over original insead of making new doc
Hi John,
Using File=Save as you'll still need to change the file name to preserve both the current and an alternate version of the document. The name change can be something as simple as adding v1 or v2 etc for each version as part of the file name. There is also a 'versions' feature in Word's file menu but it's not very solid and can create huge documents by putting all versions literally in one file. ======= "john mcmichael" wrote in message ...
