Versions
We still use Versions in Word 2003, but on a limited basis. Currenty we have
a large (400+) page document to which 6 or 7 authors/reviewers are contributing and for which an electronic trail of who did what and when is essential. We want to work around Versions' notorious ability to corrupt files by at the end of each work day accepting/deleting all changes and saving to a new filename. That way the next day's version will be saved to a new file but the electronic trail from the earlier documents will remain intact. Question: will this tactic work, or are we better off abandoning Versions altogether? The difficulty with that, though, is document management will become next to impossible. Thanks. -- Wallace |

Versions
Hi Wallace,
Periodically saving a copy with all the latest tracked changes, then copying this to a new file & accepting all the changes before continuing will certainly work. It just takes a bit of discipline and a version-tracking scheme that you can apply to the file naming.
