Make Automated Backups
in Office 2000
You can configure Word to make automated backups of every file (to prevent
file corruption from the frequent crashes) by following these steps:
- Select Options from the Tools menu, and choose the
Save tab.
- Turn on the Always create backup copy option, and click Ok.
However, as part of Microsoft's goal of seamless interface consistency,
this functionality is completely different in Excel:
- When saving a file, click Tools in the toolbar, and select
General Options.
- Turn on the Always create backup option, and click Ok.
The problem is that this option is only saved for the current file; you'll
have to go through the above steps to have automatic backups for each
and every file you save in Excel.
In PowerPoint, there is no backup option at all. However, in Tools ->
Options -> Save, there is a similar option, Save Autorecover Info.
