Saving a backup
Is it possible to make Word automatically save a renamed backup of the
document being worked on, say every 10 minutes to a folder of my choice? For instance if I'm working on script.doc the backups are saved to /script_backups/script.bak.doc |

€¢ Go to Tools Options Save tab to define how many minutes. Select the
"Set AutoRevoer info every:" checkbox and enter the number of minutes. €¢ Go to Tools Options File Locations to select the folder. Highlight "AutoRecover files" and click the Modify button to browse for the folder.

As it is, though, the macro doesn't fire automatically every x minutes. A separate macro could be written to call the backup on a schedule. Setting the AutoRecover interval and location will *not* save a backup copy in the way you think -- if you exit Word normally, the AutoRecover file is deleted. It's useful only if Word crashes while you're working on the document. -- 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. |

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/AutomaticSave.htm for general
information and the link Jay gave you for a macro to save in more than one place. -- Suzanne S.

My web page also links to the Savereminder macro which can be configured to
automatically save the document if that is what you really want to do. Personally I would like to make this sort of decision for myself. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jay Freedman wrote: On Mon, 02 Jan 2006 19:47:25 GMT, "~mike~" wrote: Is it possible to make Word automatically save a renamed backup of the document being worked on, say every 10 minutes to a folder of my choice?
