I honestly can't recall; I _think_ I was searching (OOo search) on 'versioning +word or +doc'. Versioning in Word97 is the same menu structure: File|Versions. The change tracking is carried over between the documents, but the 'versions' are not. In OOo Help: versions;file saving as, restriction there is an ! warning which states: <quote> Versions Saves and organizes multiple versions of the current document in the same file. You can also open, delete, and compare previous versions. To access this command... Choose File - Versions If you save a copy of a file that contains version information (by choosing File - Save As), the version information is not saved with the file. </quote> I just tested the same in Word97; if I use File|SaveAs the 'Versions' option is available on the SaveAs dialog, as long as I don't change from the .doc format. However, if I use File|SaveAs and save the document as a WordPerfect (.wps) document, the File|Versions is greyed out just as it is in OOo. So, apparently MS Word (at least Word97) also does not support versioning with non-native document formats. I can test in Word2K and Word2007 later.
