Automated Version control in Word 2003

[Guest]

I am using the built in Version Control System (File>Version) in MS Word 03.

At present i have the "Automatically save version on close" option selected.
So all changes are tracked.

But is there a way to have some sort of a pop up window for the comments
section, so users must enter comments when saving changes to a document?

At present they only have to enter comments if they save the new version
manually, which many dont do. So the only way to check what was changed is to
compare the 2 documents which is tediuos.

Thanx in advance

Instead of using the versioning which will bloat your documents, use the
method show at http://www.gmayor.com/save_numbered_versions.htm to create
numbered versions from a number stored in a text file. Then before the line:
ActiveDocument.SaveAs strVersionName, wdFormatTemplate
add the line
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSummaryInfo).Show
