Word 2007 compare vs. combine
I have yet to find a difference between these two in terms of the end result.
The only difference I have detected so far is that when you combine docs and the reviewing pane is open, it shows the changes with the authors and their respective colours. Lorrie |

Lorrie Lorrie: Comparing two documents forces you to accept all tracked changes in both documents before you compare the documents and, as you've already noticed, by default does not display the reviewer's name. Hence it is best suited to process tracked changes from the author and a single reviewer (or simply to compare two different versions of the same document prepared by the author). Combining two documents preserves the tracked changes in each document and by default displays the name of each reviewer. You can then save the combined document, close it, set it as the Original document and combine it with still another Revised document (and so on). All tracked changes will be identified with the respective reviewer. Hence it is well suited to processing changes from the author and 2 or more reviewers. The Label changes with box can be used to supply or override reviewers' names (with some limitations). Aeneas |

Word 2007 compare vs. combine
I've been trying myself to understand the differences, and this is the best
explanation I have come across, so far. Thank you. " wrote: On Jan 9, 5:23 am, Lorrie wrote: I have yet to find a difference between these two in terms of the end result.
