Hi,

i don't think you need to change or edit the registery. please
tell me know if i have not understood the post correctly.
Un Save a backup copy of a document
1.) On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Save tab.
2.) De-Select the Always create backup copy check box.

Thank You,
Raghu...

I have exactly the same problem, so thought I should bump this thread
rather than create another one.

Word backup documents are taking up too much space, and I would like to
turn the "always create backup copy" option off. However, manually
turning the option off in Word is not a good solution for me, as I need
to change the option for hundreds of clients on a network. All clients
are using Windows 2000 and Office 2000.

Is there a registry entry I can add or modify?
Any help would be much appreciatted.
