I'm using Office 2003. From surfing, I've found that the find-
formatting switch "show[s] all differences in formatting, not just
differences in the text contained in the document". Simple enough.

However, I am also presented with a dialog box saying "Word can only
store one set of formatting changes in the final, merged document.
Choose which set of formatting changes to keep." I have to choose one
of the two documents being compared. So my question is, what is meant
by the "formatting changes" for document 1, versus the "formatting
changes" for document 2? I don't have tracked changes on, so
shouldn't be any set of changes associated with a one document.

I'm wondering if the messages means the changes *between* documents,
and I am asked which is the "original" and which is the revised? To
me, asking the user for such a choice doesn't make sense because the
Comare-and-Merge function already takes one of the documents as the
original, and the 2nd document as the revised document.

Thanks for any clarification.
