Exact File has different Size
I have a word file saved in 2 locations. One is a "project approved doc"
folder the other is a "specific report approved" folder. I'm going through and deleting duplicate files, to save space, but i came across an interesting find. I have 2 files, time stamped/named the same. and i compared them, they are the exact same file, however one is 50% larger (900k vs 600k). they are both 2003 .doc format. they don't ahve any track changes or commetns. Now they do have tables and such, but they are all the same. Can anyoen shed some insight? Thanks |

What version/file type are we talking about? It's pretty much useless trying to compare a binary DOC file unless you do it through code, by way of the object model. Now, if you are dealing with RTF, XML (Word 2003 prof.), or DOCX (Word 2007), you have other options; like comparing the individual XML files the DOCX is made of, in the latter case.
