It would be very nice if you could select an option from View dropdown where
you could see the changes that have happened to a document (within the same
document) in order to easily identify them. The versioning approach that
occurs now is done so by creating different copies of the document making it
cumbersome or sometimes impossible when you need to revert to an earlier
version of that document. I have a prototype screen display design of a good
versioning technique that would make it super easy for users to quickly
identify changes within a document. Also, it would be even more powerful if
Word had the ability to revert to a different version easily.

This feature, Track Changes, already exists (and has been a part of Word
since at least version 2.0, in which it was called Revision Marks). See
