It seems that everyone in this discussion is missing the "Make Backup" feature
of Word.  If you "Save As" with this option checked (it even shows up under
Short Menus), Word always keeps a backup copy of your document, even when
doing just "Save"s with command-S.  I've even deliberately rebooted the
computer during a save and been able to read the Backup of ... file.  Try
using the capabilities of the program before flaming.
