Hello all,
A problem we have seen with Word Revisions (this is Word for Windows
95/7.0) is with memory management. If you have several revisions on one
file, Word starts bogging down in displaying the document. It also has a
hard time with pagination. In other words, Word crashes. We saw this with
documents with 30+ pages and a few screenshots. The machine was a Pentium
with 32K in RAM.
You can eliminate this problem by accepting the revisions. And yes, we
still use Word Revisions as needed.
