Paperless Rev Control
We use the properties window (avalaible in Excel & Word) to list the reason for change and the effective date. A disclaimer is on the bottom of documents mentioning it is the users responsibility to ensure their hardcopy matches the softcopy published...The publish date is in the document header which is then posted to an intranet site (as a pdf file) that is write locked to all the company but myself and the IT group to ensure security. Employees can retrieve original format documents and save them to their PC to make changes then route to others for approval before submitting the revised document. I then pdf and post the new document along with a company wide email containing a brief message about the change and the link as well. This avoids remembering alpha-numeric rev control and helps save a few trees.
