If you have "Automatically create backup copy" enabled, you will get a
"Backup of filename.wbk" file the *second* time you save a document. If
you only ever save once, there will be no backup. Or you may have recently
enabled this option. Or you may have (as I periodically do) cleared out
backups of old files.

In Word 2003, some of the files in a folder are in blue color, while
others
are in black. How come?
Also, how come there are backup copies of some Word files, but not
others?
