Dear Larry and friends: Yes, I can't create a backup either with a new document or by opening an old one and editing it. I can save perfectly well, and when I go back I can see the changes have been made. But, for the life of me, I can't create an automatic backup, which I should be able to, as Civilme confirms. I should be able to automatically create a foo.bak file as a backup to foo.sdw. But I can't. Not even with this new and, I think, perfect install. Any ideas? Thanks so very much.
