How can I configure Oo Writer to make

I really would suggest trying the help file first before asking in
a public forum. The explanation there seems quite clear, and takes
a whole 10 seconds to find.

Just search for 'backups'

I already did and it does not work. I like Oo but a lot of the
problems that occur aren't because of user error- some of the
functions simply don't work.

Tell me- why is it on these "help" forums do so some people get told
essentially to "solve your problems yourself?" Rather than being
beligerant why not just delete the email? I came here looking for
help AFTER I read and tried the "help" file. I already tried the
following and the thing doesn't work. Oo will not make backup
copies of my work no matter what I check off or what path I
provide.

To create a backup file every time you save a document

-

Choose Tools

- Options - Load/Save - General .

-

Mark Always create backup copy.

If the Always create backup copy option is selected, the
old version of the file is saved to the backup directory whenever
you
save the current version of the file.

-

You can change the backup directory by
choosing Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Paths,
then change the Backups path in the dialog.

-

The backup copy has the same name as the
document, but the extension is .BAK. If the backup folder
already contains such a file, it will be overwritten without
warning.
