Under the summary for an Office file is an item Revision Number. Is there a
way to find out the dates of all the revisions?

Do you mean, as in Word 2003, the "File | Versions" function?

It is under the summary tab in file properties. It does happen to be a Word
2003 file.

Open the document and go into File | Versions. If you are tracking them, it
should show you there.

There was nothing listed there (the revision number was 26) so I'm assuming
they weren't tracked. Is there a way to recover the information? If it makes
a difference I think the file was originally created in Office 2000. Is
there a way to make track versions the default option?

Not that I'm aware, but you may want to post over to one of the Word
newsgroups to find out. There are more "Wordies" over there thay may have
more info.

Hi David,
The 'revision' number is basically the number of times the file has been saved with 'changed' information and is incremented by one
with each action. There isn't a listing in the document of each save.
File=>Versions (superceded in Word 2007 with managing revisions through MS Office Sharepoint rather than in Word) saves multiple
versions of the file within the single Word document, rather than just keep a log. MS Office Outlook journal logging has the
ability to track Word document opens and saves through Office 2003 for a single user, but the option is generally off by default.
