Hi Caspar
One way to do this is to mark the text that is to be in B but not A as
hidden (select the text then do Format Font and tick the Hidden box). To
view A, at Tools Options Print, turn off hidden text. To view B, at
Tools Options Print, turn on hidden text. To print A, at Tools Options
Print, turn off hidden text. To Print B, at Tools Options Print, turn
on hidden text.
This works well for viewing and printing, but if you ever have to send
document A to someone else, you'll have to delete all the hidden text. You
can do that in Edit Find.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I was wondering if I could solve the following problem with Word.
I have two manuscripts. Manuscript A is shorter. Manuscript B contains
100% of Manuscript A but in addition has text blocks scattered in between.
I want to avoid having two files, since making a change to the manuscript
A would mean finding the exact same passage in manuscript B and also
changing it there, which can lead to mistakes. Is it therefore possible to
keep it all in one file and i.e. print two different versions of the same
document by “ignoring” certain passages. So I would on the one hand print
the manuscript omitting the “additions” (manuscript A) and on the other
print the whole thing including the “additions” (manuscript B).
I though of doing this with comments, but that doesn’t seem like a “clean”
solution (because of the numbering, the initials, their position in the
text, etc). Is there a different way?
Thanks for your help!
Casper
