I auto create a backup for each Word doc. How can I in Excel?
I automatically create a backup document in Word. This is very useful when
accidentally saving something I didn't want to change. I would like to do this in Excel, as I just saved something I didn't want to change. How is this done in Excel. The Office Assistant wasn't very helpful. Thank you in advance for any assistance. |

Thank you for responding. I tried that several times, but I can't find the
backup in the directory. Will it be there like it is in Word, or will I have to look somewhere else? Thanks for the help. "Jacob Skaria" wrote: For a specific file from....

Excel backups have the original name and the suffix .xlk (with a displayed
filetype of 'Microsoft Excel Backup File') and will appear in the same folder as the original. With the Excel backup you can use Autosave and backup simultaneously If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Dollins13" wrote: Thank you for responding.
