How do I stop Word from continuously producing copies of all documents (I
presume back ups). I have checked that in Tools - Options - Save - Create
Backup Copies is UNCHECKED and it is, but it still continues to produce
copies of all documents.

Not sure that this is applicable, but in case it is, see the article "Why is
my "Blank Document" not blank?" at:

Are you referring to the temporary files? See:
