Default versions feature in word 2007

i think i may look into that. it may take a while to fix it though. can
someone tell me how the feature works in a lot of detail. if i do manage to
fix it, i might turn it into an add-on for word 2007.

I have never used versions, so I couldn't tell you, and in any case, I
don't
think anyone really knows how corruption ever occurs; if the cause were
known, it could be corrected.

well, i used the version feature on at least 120 word files and none
of
them
got curropted. and i had some of those files for more then 3 or 4

years.

And the reason for its removal was its tendency to corrupt documents
(not
to
mention create unmanageably large files). But see
http://www.gmayor.com/save_numbered_versions.htm for a workaround.

i am new to word 2007 and i am procrastinating on it because this

one
feature that i really like in word 2003. i use the versions

feature
in
word 2003 a lot. i had office 2007 on my older laptop untill it

died
a
few
weeks ago. it was 7 years old anyways. any ways after it died i
transfered
office 20007 professional to my main computer. i was running the

2003
and
2007 editions of word side by side but it gave me so many issues.

so
i
removed word 2007 and kept the 2003 edition for that one feature
because
i
never found it in the 2007 edition. anyways....is the versions
feature
in
word 2007 or not? if there is can someone please tell me how to
get
to
it.
and if they replaced the versions feature with something else can
someone
tell me what it is and how to get to it.
