FW: Another Word puzzler

[Meenas <Meenas -at- MAILBLR -dot- EQUIN -dot- COM>]

Hi Dianne,

What Word means to *tell * you is that you have an instance of the document open and you are trying to open the same document again. So do you want to open the doc again ? So if you want to revert to the saved document i.e., on the disk, say yes. Else say no and word will display the open document. Tell me if my analysis made sense.

Regds,

meena

Subject:  Another Word puzzler

     First, thanks to all of you who helped with the word master document
     problem the programmer in my office was encountering. Now, another
     programmer has come up with something. Here it is in his own words:

     "Often when I open a document, Word prompts me "Do you want to revert
     to the saved {document name}?" Yes/No. What is the meaning of this
     prompt and what is the proper response? I've been answering Yes to
     this prompt, but don't know what it means. Does it have to do with a
     different file structure between Word 6.0 and Word 97?"

     I haven't had this particular message appear on any file I've worked
     on and I can't find anything about it in Word's on-line help, or any
     other documentation we have lying around (nobody here has a 'real'
     Word manual). I once received something similar when opening a
     document for which I had saved multiple versions, but this doesn't
     seem to be the same thing. Has anyone else come across this message or
     have any idea what it means?

     TIA,
