My old version of word and Excel would warn if I were overwrite an existing
file. I would like to have it with my current version of Word.
 
I've never encountered any version of Word that didn't warn about
overwriting an existing file. Word 2007 (most recent version) and Word 2003
(previous version) are no different.

Are you saying that Word is overwriting files without warning? What version
of Word is this? Have you checked for viruses?
