SUMMARY
The &quot;Microsoft Works for Windows User's Guide&quot; describes the Make Backup Copy function as creating an &quot;identical, backup copy&quot; of the original document. The backup copy is actually one version older than the currently saved file and is not identical to the currently saved file.



MORE INFORMATION
Works updates the backup file each time you save the original file. Each time a document is saved, the file is renamed and saved as it was prior to your last changes. The renamed file becomes the new backup copy. To create an identical backup, choose Save from the File menu twice. This functionality is by design.
