How can I compare documents without merging them?
I am looking to find the changes in a final document that has been made to
the draft document. I do not want to merge the two together. |

Try merging the €śdraft€ť document with a copy of the €śfinal€ť document, and
only transfer the €śgood€ť changes to the final €śfinal€ť document. Best of luck DeanH "mdevillez" wrote: I am looking to find the changes in a final document that has been made to the draft document. I do not want to merge the two together. |

Try using Tools¦Track Changes¦Compare Documents. Word will then highlight
the changes made in the final version compared with the draft. Make sure you rename the document Word has now created as something else (eg Comparison.doc) to prevent overwriting your final version with the tracked changes. You can also use track changes to 'accept' or 'reject' each chnage made to the draft version and so arrive at a new final version if you wish. -- V "DeanH" wrote: Try merging the €śdraft€ť document with a copy of the €śfinal€ť document, and only transfer the €śgood€ť changes to the final €śfinal€ť document.
