Hello, my boss digitally sent to me my pink slip as a microsoft word 2003 file. The file name states that this is a version 2 of the pink slip. The file is not protected by a password. It seems that he just saved changes over the document. Is there a way that I can hack the file and figure out the previous version of it? I would love to see changes to this documents. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I have no idea why I was tossed from my job after 10 loyal years of service. Please help.

You must have access to the hard drive where version 1 was previously saved. If it's not password protected, then you can see the changes.
If you want to find out why you were let go, ask. Don't ask why you were fired but ask if there was anything you did that made your boss do what he did.

If it's just the filename that says version 2, it's probably just what he called it so he wouldn't accidentally send you the first version. You could try right-clicking on a toolbar and select "Reviewing" to see any markups, but I really doubt this will work because he would have had to specifically turn on "Track Changes."
Again, I think you're out of luck because he probably just gave the file a different name.

It depends on how the version was saved. Hacking it CAN NOT get you sent to jail (although cracking would be a more appropriate word)

change it to .txt and open it in notepad. Here you will see any residual text that is still there from a "fast save".
EDIT: Not a hack and is totally legal.
