How do I backup microsoft word onto floppy disks? I cannot find a program
to do it and I think it would be slow to store one file at a time.
Thanks
Jim

The application Microsoft Word?

You wouldn't. You would use the installation media that you bought if you
ever needed to reinstall Microsoft Word.
Even if you backed up every file inthe Microsoft Office (Word) directory -
it wouldn't work if you put it on a clean system.. There are too many other
dependent files elswhere as well as registry entries and the likes.
 
What 'Mike Hall' said, plus, if you really mean backing up the program
rather than documents, you would need perhaps 100 floppy disks, and as,
'Mike Hall' said, you wouldn't have anything useful. Floppy disks are
hardly useful anymore. A CD R/W drive costs very little more than a floppy
drive, and CD/RW media is actually cheaper than 3.5" floppy disks.

'Mike Hall' did not respond in this thread. I meant your ('Shenan Stanley')
response - I have no idea why I mistakenly typed 'Mike Hall'; I must have
just read one of his posts.

Whew.. Scared me.

I had just gotten through explaining to someone else that I wasn't somebody
else and thought - after reading this - I might be wrong!
