SUMMARY
When you use the Versioning feature to save a version of a document, Word will give the version a unique name when you open the version. The "More Information" section of this article describes how Word decides what the unique version name will be.



MORE INFORMATION
Word generates a unique version name by using the following naming scheme:                              / optional  \ /optional\         /optional\ , \create time/ \ AM|PM  / version \ index  / If the version has a unique date (no other versions were created that day), then the create time is not used. For example:

Doc2, 9-27-96 version

If another version was created on that day (making the date non-unique), then the create time is used. For example:

Doc2, 9-27-96 12-21 PM version

If a version already exists with that date and time stamp, the optional index number is used to supplement the name. For example:

Doc2, 9-27-96 12-21 PM version - 2
