WD97: Word 97 Doesn't Save Version When Document Is Closed (159730)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q159730 SYMPTOMS
When you click to select the Automatically Save A Version On Close check
box, Word does not automatically save a version of your document when you
close it. Instead, Word saves a version of the document when you save the
current document.
The name of this option is misleading because it suggests Word will save a
version when you close the current document.
In addition, Word Help incorrectly states that a version of your document
is saved when you close your document.
WORKAROUND
To save a version of your document, use one of the following methods:
Method 1.
Manually save a version of your document, using the following steps:
- On the File menu, click Versions.
- In the Versions In <File Name> dialog box, click Save Now.
- Type any comments you want and then click OK.
Method 2.
Automatically save a version of your document, using the following steps.
NOTE: When you use this method, Word saves an automatic
version every time you click Save; Word does not save a version
if you close the file.
- On the File menu, click Versions.
- In the Versions In <File Name> dialog box, click to select
the Automatically Save A Version On Close check box.
NOTE: This option must be set for each document.
For more information about versions, click the Office Assistant, type
"versions" (without the quotation marks), click Search, and then click to
view "Review version information for a file."
