change location of backup directory

[jen]

I want all of my *.wbk files to save to a particular directory, but I can't
find where to tell it this!
I see the "file locations" are in options, but not where to set the path for
the .wbk files.
Can someone help please?

Thanks in advance,
Jen

This is not an option - the wbk files always go in the same folder as the
original document. You could achieve much the same with a macro -

This is not possible. *wbk files must be created in the same folder as the
document. If you think about it, you might have multiple files with the same
name, but in different folders. If you put their backup files all in one
folder, there would be a conflict.
