Comparing 2 documents

Tobes · 5 Oct 2006 at 00:27

Hi,

I'm a writer and once my article is finished by me it goes off to a editor. I just wondered if there is anyway I can compare the original and the edited one side by side but highlight the changes? At the moment I just open 2 word docs and have them side by side but it's not easy on the eye to find changes.

Any help would be great.

PS: Have I made this thread before here?

Have you and your editor looked into the 'track changes' function under the tools menu?

which works well (although not on remote drives so much) and highlights all changes from person to person.

have a go with it on a seperate document and you will learn to love it. one of the most brilliant and under used features of word. hence it get's it's own "ribbon section" in the new word.
