stop auto saving of a duplicate "back-up" copy of document
I want to stop Word from automatically saving a duplicate "back-up" copy of
the document to my Word files. When I open word to retrieve an existing document I've edited there is a duplicate copy in the file. It is titled "back-up of........" Recently I made some changes to my files but don't remember how to undo this. How do I stop this from happening? Thanks for your help -- Gene |

stop auto saving of a duplicate "back-up" copy of document
If you have never 'accidentally' lost a document, then you are very lucky.
The first time you do so you will be glad of this function. However, you can turn it off from tools options save 'Always create backup copy'. Much better to occasionally delete the unwanted backups.
