I need something that will handle more than Word files. I use Visio a lot, and that's where the problem came in this time. And I don't want to give Word any excuse to be even less stable. Every version of Word I've ever used has some kind of internal limit, it seems like - once the file goes over a certain size, it gets corrupted and it will never behave properly again after that.

If your concern is Word, it has its own version management system built in. Tends to bloat the files, but it's there when you need it.
Cheers!
