To find your version of any program you have loaded, here's what I do:
Start>>settings>>control panel>>add/remove software
Scroll down and highlight the program in question. If the version
number doesn't show up when you highlight, look for a "help" link
within the highlighted area for that program. Click on it, and you
will see the version number in an inset window. Note that on these
insets, the button marked with the word "close" doesn't usually work
(for me); I end up clicking the "X" tab in the top right corner of the
inset "help" window. .
DO NOT CLICK ON "CHANGE/REMOVE PROGRAM"
Just back out of this -- close the windows.
I once tried keeping a notebook, but so many programs auto-update,
that checking via the programs listing is more accurate (and
easier!).
