Changes in Word
Is it true that Word will save every change ever made in a document -- even
if text has been deleted? We have users who are using the same *.doc file and calling it a template. They modify this document hundreds of times over. Users do not understand why their Word documents are slow. IT has been trying to tell them to use a true *.dot file; however, have received little cooperation. Is there a TechNet article available regarding this? If it is true that Word does save every change made to an *.doc file, is there a way to view the changes? |

Changes in Word
I can't respond positively but I don't believe what you describe is a
default. There is an option in 2000 and later versions of Word„˘ to save VERSIONS. This does allow users to "go back" to a previous save of the file. This may be what you have heard about.
