Why Version modified internally on Each modification in the Master Document?

hi!
Why the Version is modified internally on Each modification in the Actuall
Document. I am doing the following Steps:

1: Create a new document named MyDoc.doc.
2: Save a Version named "ver1" into the MyDoc.doc.
3: Open Version "ver1".
4: Save this version at some place i.e. V1-1.doc.
5: Again open Version "ver1".
6: Save this version at some place i.e. V1-2.doc.
7: Compare both saved Version files using WinDiff.exe utility which shows a
difference in both files.

I have also tested the above procedure programmatically by setting the
RemoveDateAndTime property to TRUE before saving the versions but the
difference is still there.

Anybody there to tell me the reason why it so happens? Anything to avoid
this?


Thanks in advance.

I don't really understand everything that you're doing or asking, but I admit
I didn't make a great effort to try. Because: you should NEVER EVER try to use
the Versions feature in Word. It's unreliable and can cause documents to "go
bad".

I don't know what you want to accomplish with this feature, but I strongly
advise you to look for an alternative.
1: Create a new document named MyDoc.doc.
2: Save a Version named "ver1" into the MyDoc.doc.
3: Open Version "ver1".
4: Save this version at some place i.e. V1-1.doc.
5: Again open Version "ver1".
6: Save this version at some place i.e. V1-2.doc.
7: Compare both saved Version files using WinDiff.exe utility which shows a
difference in both files.
