EDIT: Modified title and added update. UPDATE: We no longer believe this is a 64bit vs 32bit problem. We have found that the only people that were seeing this, were people that were set in the farm policy as "full control."

Hello, I've started using MOSS 2007's wiki feature for storing the ongoing technical documentation related to a project I'm working on, and it occurred to me after I started writing a few pages that there's no easy way to export out all of the pages into one document. For those of you familiar with MOSS 2007, any ideas how this might b...

It seems to me that the only way to view the contents of a previous version, is to do a restore of that version - this however will cre...
