"versions" feature in ms word

[Steven Wabik]

you know how in ms word 2003 there is this option called "version" in the
file menu? well, i started using it like a month ago because i found it
usefull for keeping older versions of some of my files. now a days i am
testing Windows Vista and i am using MS office 2007 beta 2. in ms word 2007
i can't seem to find the versions option. can someone please help me find
the "versions" option in ms word 2007 and tell me where it is and stuff so
that i can use it.

and if there is a better newsgroup to post this in please tell me that as
well.



from,
Steven

i don't want that though.
i like the versions feature.
i saw something about it in word 2007 but i'm not sure how it works because
its set up a lot differently.

Hi Steven,

The 'equivalent' of versioning in Word 2007 includes using a Sharepoint (site) library with check-in/check-out type functionallity.
My understanding is that for folks moving to Word 2007 (once it's released) there should be a tool of some sort to separate the
versions into different files along the lines of the MS Office Binder 'unbind' tool that started in Office XP after MS Binder was
discontinued.

Unfortunately, the 'help' page for the 2007 Versioning feature, using Sharepoint, is a bit 'slim' at present

well, i have been using it for over two years now and i have used the
feature with over 1120 files and none of them are currupt so far.
well, one or two got corrupt while transfering it to a ppc runing wm 2003
via activesynce 4.7 but luckely that was only a copy.
everything was readable in it though.
some of those files have from 10 to 20 versions in them.
