Depending on your version of Windows, Notepad isn't the tool of choice to view a large document file, however. The default text editor that ships with Windows is Notepad. You can, however, use a plain text editor to look at the document file and examine the version information stored within it. Most of this information is not visible when the file is open in Word because Word reads what it needs to know and just displays the document content in the editing window. This data also includes the name of the last version of Word to save the file and the file version or 'class.' The data mostly consists of internal information Word needs when working with the file-stuff like style definitions, macros, and the whole gambit of document properties. This is because every time a document is saved, Word (whichever version you are using) rewrites the format and some of the identifying information saved within a file.Įach time a document is modified and saved, a host of data is written into the actual document file. It is possible, however, to identify which version of Word was last used to modify a document. It is not possible to be absolutely sure which version of Word was used to create a document. At some time you may want to know which version of Word was used to create a particular document.
In many office environments, different people probably use many different versions of Word to create their documents.
