Default Database to track changes in text

I have an existing database (that I created). Now the users want the ability
to track changes to Rules. Rules are basically legal text. They need to be
able to track changes to the text and have a comment associated with each
change. Am I right in thinking this is something that Access cannot handle?
I'm thinking along the lines of a Microsoft word document with 'track
changes' turned on and maybe the Access db can hyperlink to the document.
However, I'm no expert in MS Word.

Default Database to track changes in text

I'm thinking that Allen Browne may have a change tracker on his site. If not,
a bad method, but one that might work, is to do unmatched queries and see
what doesn't match and then do update queries.
