How do I version a Word document?

Hi there!

I am Shakiru, an independent advisor and a user like you, and I am glad to be helping you out today.

Try to use the document properties feature. Here are the steps:

* Open the Word document that you want to version. * Click on the "File" tab and select "Info" from the left-hand menu. * Under the "Related People" section, click on the "Show All Properties" link at the bottom. * In the Properties panel that appears, click it and select Advance properties, select the "Custom" tab. * In the "Name" field, type "Version" (without quotes). * In the "Value" field, type the version label you want to assign (e.g., "1.0", "1.1", "2.0", etc.). * Click on the "Add" button to add the custom property to the document. * Save the document.

Now, each time you make changes to the document and want to update the version label, follow steps 2 to 6 and replace the current value with the new version label. You can also view the version history of the document by clicking on the "Version History" button under the "Info" tab, which shows the different versions with their respective labels.

Kindly let me know, if you require additional assistance, I will be glad to help further.

Best Regards, Shakiru

Version History is built in for documents saved to OneDrive.

If you are saving locally, you can use code that Graham Mayor has created. See http://www.gmayor.com/save_numbered_versions.htm.
