= SUMMARY =

If you choose File Save As and choose “Make backup copy,” make sure that the file format is set to Works. If you select another file format and the filename remains unchanged, the original file will also be altered and saved in the new format.

If you choose a TEXT format, the warning message “OK to save without formatting?” provides a second opportunity to verify that the correct file format and filename have been selected. If you select OK, formatting will be stripped from the backup and the original. Reformatting must then be done manually.
