In microsoft Word, is there a way to find the differences between 2 similar documents?

Question

I have made changes to one copy of a document. I also have a copy of the original file.
I would like to find out what I have changed.

Is there a way to get Word to tell me?

I am using MS Word 2003, but please include answers for other versions, in order to make this question as useful as possible to the community.

Answer 1

The way I found to do this in Word 2003 is:

• Open the recent version
• Turn on "Track Changes" by clicking on Tools / Track Changes
• Go to Tools / Compare and Merge Documents...
• Select the old version
• A new window opens containing the old version with all changes added and highlighted
