No - they always go in the document folder. If you want a true backup rather
than a backup of the last previously saved version - see the macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm which will allow you to save
the backups wherever you want them. Alternatively you could simply use
Windows Explorer to delete them or archive them after a suitable period.

Also, note that you won't see them if you have selected "Word Document" or
"All Word Documents" as the file type in the File Open dialog.
