Any way to make Word 2007 save in two places at once?

TheVoice · 14 Nov 2007 at 11:00

Hoping someone might know a way of doing this. Basically, I tend to work straight from my USB flash drive, mainly because I'm often switching between my PC when I'm at home, and my notebook if I've gone into Uni. Is there any way to set Word 2007 (on both systems) to do the following: If click Save, it'll save to my USB stick as well as my documents folder on the hard-drive. That way, at least I know that my work is backed up and always up-to-date regardless of where it is.

Failing that, any alternative suggestions?

Thanks muchly.

Don't think you can get it to save in 2 places at the same time, but as an alternative take a look at Synctoy (freebie Microsoft utility).

Use it to automatically sync up the 2 folders so they are always up to date.

Thanks for those guys. I actually use SyncToy already to do backups to my external Passport drive, so I could try adding another action for my flash drive too. Hadn't thought about that.
