Word software

Question: In the Word program, does the computer save prior texts even after the draft is reworded? In other words, if I draft a document and make revisions, are previous revisions saved without renaming the file?

Actually, your revisions aren't saved unless you save the file. You can "undo" everything and "redo" as well. If you want to save multiple versions, use the "save as" function for each version, and alter the file name slightly for each one.

Answer is

potentially

Old versions might be saved on your computer, but you can not gain access in the normal way. Open up Windows Explorer find the file right click and look for something that says previous version (depending on version of OS it might say different things) Click on it and if any old versions exist it will be there. If you made a change two hours ago and were looking for the old version you will be SOL, but a week ago you might be ok

It is hit and miss if there are old versions available, I think it happens if the computer has regular back up times in the settting
