You can compare documents side by side in Word, or you can merge two
documents and have Word display the differences as tracked changes.

Hello Stefan,
Thanks for the info. But we have Microsoft word version 2000 installed, which does not have the "Compare nad Merge" Feature. Can you suggest some solution for comapring documents in this version.

Well, one way to visually compare documents side by side in Word 2000
is to open the documents, minimize any other open applications, right-click the taskbar and choose to Tile Vertically. Another approach is to use ToolsTrack ChangesCompare Documents. This investigates the differences between documents and adds them as tracked changes. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Naresh Rana" wrote in message ... Hello Stefan, Thanks for the info.

Do you still have the "past copy" as a separate file? If not, there's no way. If the "past copy" is a separate file, you can use the free CSDIFF utility to compare them: http://componentsoftware.com/products/csdiff/news.htm. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "Do I smell the revolting stench of self-esteem?" -- Jon Lovitz, in /The Producers/ (2005) |

But we have Microsoft word version 2000 installed, which does not have the
"Compare nad Merge" Feature. Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Compare has been on the Tools menu for many, many versions. Compare Side by Side is new, but it is not what you want, anyway. And you don't actually want to merge the document, just compare one to other and have it display markup (which is comparable to Track Changes). -- Suzanne S.

You can check our Compare It! tool (http://www.grigsoft.com/) - it can
compare .doc files. Trial version can do this too, so you don't have to purcahse it if this is a one time operation for you. Igor Green http://www.grigsoft.com/ Compare It! + Synchronize It! - files and folders comparison never was easier! |

My reference to ToolsTrack ChangesCompare Documents (in a previous
response) is for Word 2000. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Stefan. I never used Word 2000 and haven't used any of these
features until very recently, so I'm not very familiar with the menu structure for the features. -- Suzanne S.
