In the context(r-clik) or properties of a text (.doc, .txt ...)file there exists a 'restore previous version' option. However, although I know there was a previous version it has always said 'no previous versions'. Is there something I need to set in order for at least one previous version to always exist?

Hello Marc,
You can double check the listed requirements in red at the top of the tutorial below to see if anything may stand out.
Previous Versions - Restore Files and Folders
Annoying tab that.
Its present on everything, but as you've found NOT allways relevant
It depends on how/what you've done.
(even truer on a text file) - installed via notepad??

You can use step 6 in Option 1 below to set the services as per the red warning box in the second tutorial link below.
Previous Versions - Restore Files and Folders
That's an incredibly unreliable tool to begin with, being too tied to system restore, which is in itself unreliable. If you have something important to keep many versions of, use a real backup/version control/file copies/whatever you can trust and not the broken built-in thing.
