using the versioning feature among multiple contributors

[Guest]

Looking to use versioning in word as a means of sharing a document through
the editing process using the reviewing tool bar. What is the best method of
sending the document between 2-3 people w/o changing file name yet keep track
of veriuoning history?

The Versions feature in Word has been removed in 2007 [because it was such
an abject atrocity in prior versions]

See here for *one* suggestion, but separate files is pretty well recognized
as the safest rout unless you have some other resource available. Consider
naming in reverse for your files:

Rather than: DocumentOfTheDayVersion1

Try using: V1-DocumentOfTheDay

or some other alternative that makes it workable for your group.

As the document moved from #1, #1, #3 the ID of the previous review is lost.
I believe that you are correct that the best way around this is with
renameing the file with a consistant format
thanks
