Reviewing Document Versions
Summary: If you save different versions of your document using the versioning feature of Word, you’ll want to know how you can go back and review the different versions you’ve saved. This tip illustrates how easy it is to open up a previous version of a document. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
If you are using Word to manage different versions of your document, you may want to review a particular version of a document at some time. To review a saved version, follow these steps:
- Choose Versions from the file menu. Word displays the Versions dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Using the list of existing versions, select the version you want to review.
- Click on View comments if all your comments do not fit within the Versions dialog box.
- Click on Open.
At this point, Word opens the version in addition to your already open (current) version of the document. Word displays the two in separate windows, on-screen at the same time. When you are through reviewing the version, simply close it as you would any other document file.
