Word doesn't track revisions to your own revisions. I can see how this would
be helpful in some cases but in order for Word to do what you want it would
need to track every single change you make. Think about correcting your
spelling or backspacing to change a word or phrase. That would be a LOT of
revisions. (I'm glad it doesn't work like this - everyone would see what a
horrible typist I am, or at times how I end up typing every other word
because my fingers aren't keeping up with my brain, and how I rely on the
proofing tools correct those typing errors. <grin>)
The best way (and really the only way) to accomplish this is to change your
User Name so each set of revisions will be tracked. This may or may not work
for you depending on when you are making the revisions. If it's immediately
after you revise the content then it probably won't. But if you are opening
the file later and reviewing your revisions then it could work.
