Is there a way of comparing several versions of a word document?
Due to the incorrect saving of a document (my Auntie's life story), there are
several different versions at different stages of update in Word. They vary from 50 pages to 120 pages in length, but because she was adding to the first document she could see and not necessarily to the most recently updated, she has added bits and pieces to the versions in an ad hoc manner and not to the latest version. Is there a way to merge the documents into one document containing all the variances in each of the individual documents? Even if it can be done two documents at a time, that would be better than having to physically read and compare each document, then cut and paste. Cheers! |
