Compare and merge documents in Word greyed out
Does anyone know why my compare and merge documents would be greyed out in
Word? I have seen several questions answered about Excel but not Word and I am at a loss as to how to turn the option on. |

Compare and merge documents in Word greyed out
Let's ask the obvious first :-): Do you have at least one document open?
It isn't an option you turn on/off - It's a feature that's available as long as conditions are right for it to be used. If this isn't the problem please specify which version of Word you're using. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "buffonskivitch" u34790@uwe wrote in message news:73345728a8d21@uwe...

CyberTaz,
Yes I did have a document opened, in fact I tried several to see if it had something to do with the document I initially opened, but it seemed to be the case with every document I tried. I am running Microsoft Word 2003. Any ideas? Thanks so much! Buffonskivitch |

Then the next thing I would try is (assuming you haven't customized your
Menu): ToolsCustomizeToolbars, click on the name of the Menu Bar to select it, then click the Reset button. Once you Okay out see if the command has come back to life. If you've customized your Menus it would be better to remove the Compare & Merge command, then add it back. (If you _have_ customized your Menus you already know the where & how ) That [hopefully] should refresh it. If the suggestion above doesn't work, however, this may be the next option to try. Post back if you're not familiar with doing so. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "buffonskivitch" u34790@uwe wrote in message news:733687b17c7cc@uwe...
