Document Versions in Word 2003

You can save multiple versions of a document within the same document. This method saves you from having to manage multiple files (with potentially similar file names) and saves disk space because when you use the Versions feature as Word saves only the differences between versions.

After you've saved a version (or several versions) of a document, you can review, open, and delete earlier versions of a document.
