Interesting. I have the backup feature checked and time marked, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll have to do some more digging and see what the problem is. In prier versions of Word, I know there was a folder under Microsoft Office Word where all the backups went, but I can't find that either. Thank you for looking.

"When you turn on the backup feature, Word saves backup files by appending or prepending some special text to your file name. In some versions of Word, the WBK filename extension is used instead of the familiar DOC. In other versions of Word, the DOC extension is used by Word adds the phrase "Backup of" to the beginning of the document name. Let's say that you have two directories, and in each one you have different documents but each has the same name, as in MyLetter.doc. If you have backups turned on, and Word allows you to specify where the backups are placed, then the names for the backups of the two different files would be the same (either MyLetter.wbk or Backup of MyLetter.doc), and two files with the same name cannot be saved in the same folder. The solution is for Word to simply keep the backup copy of a document in the same folder as the original copy. That way, you don't run into naming conflicts at all."

I apologize if I missed it. Could someone please repost that answer if it was posted? thanks.
