Document HISTORY ??

[Guest]

Hello,

Is there any way to see the activities done on a word document since its
creation ???

Track changes is set to OFF.

Means, opening a word document, add text, edit, delete etc. and save thats
all.

Can anybody use any technique to view all the activities (history) done on
that doc ???

thanks

If Track Changes is turned off, Word doesn't record most of that stuff.
(Think about it for a second -- if Word tracked all changes when Track
Changes was turned off, what would be the point of having the Track Changes
feature?)

There are a few things that might be discoverable by examining a document
either in Word or in a hex editor, such as the name of the person who last
saved the document. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825576 for a
discussion of so-called 'metadata' in Word documents.
