We only include revision history of last three changes in specs and work instructions otherwise you'd have more pages of revisions that actual usable document for an activity/procedure/process. For on the spot visual procedures and forms we include no revision history. Is it possible in Word 2007 to create a revision history table automatically using track changes or some other method?

Word Online Yes, but there are a couple of important things to keep in mind:. You can’t see tracked changes in Word Online but they’re still there. When you open a document in Word Online that has tracked changes, they’re preserved and any changes you make will also be tracked.
You just won’t see them until you open the document in the Word desktop application. You can’t turn Track Changes on or off in Word Online; you can only do that the Word desktop application. You’ll know Track Changes is on when you see it in the status bar at the bottom of Word Online. Word Online also lets you, as well as reply to comments from other reviewers. If you have the Word desktop application, use the Open in Word command to open the document and turn on.
When you’re done and you save the document, it will continue to be stored where you opened it in Word Online. Tracked changes will be preserved and—if you turned on Track Changes before you opened the document in Word Online—any changes you make in Word Online will also be tracked. If you don’t have Word, you can or the latest version of Office now.
Terry notes that when editing a document with Track Changes turned on, he can display the edits made by a particular editor. He wonders if there is a way to display only the edits made on a particular date, regardless of whom the editor was. There isn't an easy way to do this. You can, however, easily see the dates on which various edits were made. All you need to do is display the Reviewing Pane, instead of viewing the edits in the document itself.
To display the Reviewing Pane, click the tool of the same name on the Reviewing toolbar. With the Reviewing Pane visible, note that it lists all the edits in the document. Each edit is accompanied by the name of the reviewer who made the edit and the date on which that edit was made.
Double-click an edit and Word takes you to the point in the document where the edit occurs.
