The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q167219 SYMPTOMS
If you are using the versioning feature in Word 97 with a protected
document containing form fields, Word 97 may hang when you open an earlier
version of the document.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Versioning allows you to maintain a working history of a document. With
this feature, you can see exactly who did what to a document and when. You
can also enter descriptive text about the changes made in each version. All
the versioning information is stored within the document, so you don't need
to maintain and track multiple copies of the document
