I think OP did well enough.

In which case I have an alternative suggestion, that works but is far
from simple. It achieves the objective, saving multiple versions, but
not in the way the OP described it. It's also far from free unless the
OP already has Windows 2003 Server, so I don't propose to discuss it in
this newsgroup.
If the OP sets up a Sharepoint server (which requires W2K or 2K3 Server
software) it is possible to have the server automatically create
multiple backup versions of each document as it is saved. These can be
retrieved later. Although there are advantages to using the latest
Microsoft Office version with Sharepoint it will work with pretty much
any recent Windows program.
Followups set to poster.
