Back up files

[Guest]

I've recently been using, and found usefull, the "always create backup"
(Tools>Options>Save).

I don't want to backup all documents, as it's not needed. Is there a way
that I can "create backup copy" on certain files?

At the moment, when I open the document that I want backed up I have to go
into the options to turn it on. Then after using that document and opening
another I have to turn off the feature before I save my next document.

If anyone could help me, I would most appreciate it

Don't think so.

You may prefer the approach in this link, which uses a duplicate as backup
(instead of the "previous version" backup that Word gives you), which you
could invoke more selectively.

Alternatively, you could probably record a macro of the process of turning
the feature on and off in options.
