Set "ALWAYS CREATE BACKUP" Option
Always save backup is a workbook-only setting, not a global setting.
In Excel you can create a new workbook template to use as the basis for any
NEW workbook.
Open a new workbook. Customize as you wish including the "always save
backup".
FileSave As Type: scroll down to Excel Template(*.XLT) and select. Name
your workbook "BOOK"(no quotes). Excel will add the .XLT to save as
BOOK.XLT.
Store this workbook in the XLSTART folder usually located at........
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
This will be the default workbook for FileNew or the Toolbar button
FileNew or CTRL + n
WARNING................Do not use FileNew...Blank Workbook or you will get
the Excel default workbook.
NOTE: Existing workbooks are not affected by these settings.
I think in Word you would have to alter the Normal.dot document.

In Excel, I keep setting the "always create backup" in the "save as" toolsoptions menu, but it keeps on getting erased. How can I automatically produce and keep backups in Word, and Excel on a times basis. Using Windows XP and MS Office Professional components if Office 2000, although I have Office 2007, but have not installed it as yet? Thanks.
