Track changes saving multiple versions

[cyntjones]

I opened a Word Document that I change quarterly, and when I changed it and
accepted those changes, it saved over top of every version copy of that
document (5 versions). Now I have 5 copies of this document, not just the
changes. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Because the versioning feature is unstable. Don't use it. Use File/Save As to
save different versions of a document.
