In a previous tip, I showed you how to enable versions in Word. When Versions are enabled, Word will automatically save a new version of a document each time it is closed.

If you are using this feature for version control, you will eventually want to delete older versions of a document when you no longer need them since each version takes up additional disk space.

1. Within your document, click the File menu and Click Versions. 
2. From the list of existing versions, select the version you want to delete and click Delete.
3. Click Yes to confirm your actions.
4. Click Close.
