Saving a backup
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? For instance if I'm working on script.doc the backups are saved to /script_backups/script.bak.doc See http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm for a macro that can save a duplicate copy to a separate location. 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. |
