Comparing and combining documents

The Compare feature in Word automatically evaluates the contents of two or more documents and displays markup balloons that show the differences between the documents. You can display the differences in the original document, the revised document, or in a new document [1].

If you want to go a step further than just viewing the differences, you can use the Combine feature to integrate all changes from multiple authors or documents into one single document [1].

The Combine Documents dialog box contains a variety of options. The option you are most likely to change is in the Show Changes section where you determine in which document the combined version will display—in the original document, the revised document, or in a new document. If you do not want to modify the original documents, you should combine the changes into a new document.
