I believe Word 2003 had a version command, that never worked well. It was removed in Word 2007 and is not there in Word 2013. You cannot do this without separate files. The versioning command led to huge files that were unstable, I believe. With storage becoming much less expensive, my guess is that MS decided that separate files were a better option. However, they did not provide a simple way to do this (other than Save As).
However, you can do it easily with an Add-In you can download for free from Graham Mayor's site.
Save the current document to two places add-in for Word 2007 and 2010
Although labeled for Word 2007 and 2010, there is no reason to think this will not work for Word 2013.
Here is an older macro that serves much the same purpose, if a bit less elegantly:
