I had a quick question, is there any software that can view past revisions for word office documents? e.g. below the scenario
Using MS Word 2010
User 1- created the document and enable track changes
User 2- add some content on the word document and still the track changes enable
User 3- delete some content on the word document and the track changes are enable then he accept all the revisions. , then he email it to a friend
User4- he downloads the document on his email, but he wants to view all the information or word changes from user 1 up to user 3.
Thanks,
Jeff
Yes.
You can use the built in ZIP (compressed) in Windows, and Notepad.
MS Word 2010 files are ZIP compressed collection of directory structures and XML files.
The file \word\document.xml is the content of the Word file, without formating.
Each deleted and modified section will be marked with an id, author and a date/time stamp in UTC format.
For example, here is a chunk how it would look when the text "Original" is replaced by "new".
<wbody>
<wp wrsidR="00EB7A80" wrsidRDefault="00EB7A80">
<wdel wid="0" wauthor="modifyinguseraccount" wdate="2016-01-21T104700Z">
<wr wrsidDel="00EB7A80">
<wdelText>Original</wdelText>
</wr>
</wdel>
<wins wid="1" wauthor="modifyinguseraccount" wdate="2016-01-21T104700Z">
<wr>
<wt>new</wt>
</wr>
</wins>

is there any xml software viewer that can do this? Thanks
Once the changes have been accepted - this data goes away. So if you get the document from User 4, you will not be able to see what occurred prior.
