Comparing two versions of a document

[M.L.Srinivas]

Hi,
I'm saving different versions (versions feature in MS-
Word) of a document and to see the changes done in the
later version can we compare (track changes or any other
method) these versions and highlight the changes?

And also can we get the percentage of accuracy of a
document after comparing it with the master document?

Please help.

What's wrong with the 'Compare documents' option?

And also can we get the percentage of accuracy of a
document after comparing it with the master document?

Only if you can define 'accuracy' in this context.

Hi,
Compare documents needs two seperate documents. Here I'm
using versions option in MS-Word(Available in file menu,
which saves different versions of the file with date and
time of creation).

Thanks for your reply

I would like to hide (and show) all comments in a document. My problem
is that I don't find how to do.

I'm working in Word2000, OfficeXP and in VB.

Any help on this should be great.

Thanks
Lajos

AFAIK, there is no way to compare versions stored in the same file. What I
do know is that using the Versions feature is one of the leading causes of
file bloat in MS Word (i.e., ballooning file sizes). This makes your
documents much more prone to corruption or at best, slow processing. I
recommend you separate the versions into separate files to do your
comparison, and avoid using Versions in the future.

For future reference, these 'segmented view areas' are panes, and the
VBA help on them is OK.
