Versions in Word 2007
What happened to the File Versions feature in Word 2007? Has it been
replaced with something else? I thought that was a great feature. |

Versions in Word 2007
Versions were a good way to get your document corrupted. (All your eggs in
one basket - not good) What you should do is SaveAs with a version control number. We use the date. Then you can compare the documents using the Compare feature found on the Review tab. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

I thought that was a great feature. apparently, it was not used extensively (enough), and was discontinued for Word 2007. Personally, I didn't see any benefit at all of "Versions" vs. "Save As" (and, on the contrary, more threats to the file integrity if you add too many versions into the binary format).

Versions in Word 2007
I had heard of corruptions but didn't experience any myself. It was nice way
to save just changes for multiple versions without having to duplicate or triplicate entire documents. "Robert M.

Versions in Word 2007
One rationale I read indicated that this capability had been
replaced/superseded by capabilities in SharePoint (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...85851033.aspx). Of course, this then means that only those with SharePoint now have the "replacement" capability. :-\ So... if your company has SharePoint available, you're all set. ;-) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Kim" wrote in message ...
