Combine documents, merge changes & eliminate duplicates
I have 2 documents. About 75% of the information is identical in both. when
I merge them I get a 3rd document that highlights and red-lines changes and shows what has been DELETED. What I want to do is: 1. Have word compare the 2 and delete only duplicate entries 2. Insert additions in one document from other 3. Show me what has been changed 4. Allow me to merge the two and ELIMINATE the correction notations (red text, lines, etc.) Let me know if this can be done - or maybe some hints on doing it manually. Thanks |

Combine documents, merge changes & eliminate duplicates
What you see depends on in what order you tell Word to consider the
documents -- which is the "original" and which is the "changed," or "older/newer." To reverse what you are seeing, open the two documents in the opposite order. The result is basically a document with Tracked Changes, so you will then be able to Accept All Changes, or go through all the changes one by one.
