In the File menu is a "Versions..." item that allows you to create
multiple versions of a work in progress.


Also appears in Word, if that is what you are already using and you give the File menu the time to expand (damn feature hiding menus).

Since it saves all the versions in one file as diffs in a proprietary undocumented format I would worry about the fragility of the resulting file and how to recover *any* version should it get corrupted.
