How do I disable the Compare and Merge Documents feature in Word .
I have previously released a preliminary draft of a document. I am ready to
send the final version, but I do not want others to have the ability to compare changes between the draft and the final version (at least not electronically). The Compare and Merge Documents feature will allow them to do this. Is there a way to disable this feature, or somehow protect the final version so that it cannot be merged with the draft? |

Hi ?B?bWF5bmFyZA==?=,
I have previously released a preliminary draft of a document. I am ready to send the final version, but I do not want others to have the ability to compare changes between the draft and the final version (at least not electronically). The Compare and Merge Documents feature will allow them to do this. Is there a way to disable this feature, or somehow protect the final version so that it cannot be merged with the draft? No way to disable the feature on others' machines. If they shouldn't be allowed to do any editing, you could protect the document as a form, then the command is unavailable. But you need to realize if anyone inserts the document into another document the command will be available, again.
