Default I think my Word vocabulary is too small...

I suspect that if I could find the right words to describe my problem, I would be able to Google up an answer. But I can't! So maybe someone here can help.



Basically, imagine you're making a 10-page article for 100 different people. You store the pages separately, because you know people are going to ask for minor changes to individual pages. They reprint the article all the time. But Person A asks for some changes to page 2. So you make a copy of page 2, just for them. And Person B asks for some changes to page 4. Same thing. This goes on some, and you end up with a couple of versions of each page. Not 100, by any means. But several.

OK, but then the core text of the article changes. You want to change the original version of the page, and then push those changes to the other copies - but without losing any customizations they might have made (or at least, without reviewing how it would impact the customizations.)

I get that this is a compare documents kind of scenario, but does anyone have any great suggestions for how to streamline this process? Because if you end up with a dozen page 2's, this gets really, really tedious.

Thanks for any help!
