I have several sub folders in the My Documents folder and
I want them to backup to one folder - eg. My
Documents\Backup Documents. Is there documentation online
with step by step instructions for this task? Is there a
way that I can add a folder to the save file locations
template? At this time, in Word 97 and 2000, the only
file save location for documents is My Documents. I have
added a folder called Backup Documents, now I need to know
how to automate Word 2000 to actually save files there.

You can change the default folder Word starts in by modifying the path for
Word documents on the File Locations tab of Tools | Options. But you can't
change the location where .wbk files are created; they are always created in
the same folder with the document. See
