SYMPTOMS
If you are using the versioning feature in Word 97 with a protected document containing form fields, Word 97 may hang when you open an earlier version of the document.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
Versioning allows you to maintain a working history of a document. With this feature, you can see exactly who did what to a document and when. You can also enter descriptive text about the changes made in each version. All the versioning information is stored within the document, so you don't need to maintain and track multiple copies of the document
