Saving a copy of a document
Does anyone know if it is possible to save a copy of a document
without resetting the file location? So, say I am working on a document saved on the C drive, but want to make a backup copy on to my M drive...I can save the file to M, but then I am working with the file on the M drive, not where I originally was in the C drive. Alternatively, is it possible to save documents in multiple locations - the C and M drive when you hit save? |

Use the macro shown in the section "Save document to two locations" at http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

*** Correction ***
Step 3. should be "Left" instead of "Right" Mouse Button. *** These posts need an edit option *** "Mecalith" wrote: For Word 2007 on Windows Vista Home Premium Open Save As dialog: 1.

Saving a copy of a document
This is an issue that Microsoft should have resolved with Word 2007 -
seems like such an obvious addition. (Hopefully they are listening to this.) |

They did resolve such issues long ago, with the provision of a programming
language. The link to my web site quoted by a couple of contributors shows how. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote: This is an issue that Microsoft should have resolved with Word 2007 - seems like such an obvious addition.
