Handling backup files - a better way?
The way MS Word handles backup files in annoying and interferes with
productivity (at least for me). I have some complaints, suggestions or preferences. If there is any way to accomplish any of these please tell me. TIA Complaints: Recent versions of MS Word, save backups in the same directory as the original file instead of in a separate directory. This results in confusion between the original file and the backup. Recent versions add the words "backup of.... in front of the filename being backed up and substitute the extension .wbk for doc. This is wearing both a belt and suspenders. How can I make Word save the backups in a separate directory (and NOT save a backup in the original directory)? Regardless of where they are saved, is there a way to make word leave the basic filename alone? Changing the extension to "wbk" is enough. Adding "backup of.." messes up sort order. Suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Len |
