Answer:
Embedded OLE objects in any application are stored in two parts: the actual document data, and a picture of what it looked like the last time the host application saw it. This means if you don't have, say, Visio on your machine, you can still see the Visio drawing (but not edit it).

To see if it's an OLE thing, try cutting and pasting to other applications, especially Wordpad. I have seen situations where the picture seems to be out of sync -- my best guess was that Word was trying to do something clever with it, but I like the theory that Word revision-tracking has something to do with it.

I don't think I read this correctly. You paste and see some old version, but if you do any edit to it all in DOORS it upgrades to the current version? My only guess is that "Revision Tracking" is on in the original MS-Word file. If so, then go back to that file, accept all changes, turn tracking off, and do copy-paste again into DOORS.

I'd also examine the "Highlight changes on screen" and "Highlight changes in printed document" options.

Curious minds want to know how this turns out.
