Comparing Documents in Word

Have you ever been working on a document and saved it as a draft, opened it again and saved it as draft 2 and later could not remember which was which? Here is an easy way to compare two documents side by side - no you don't have to have two monitors!

Word has a Compare feature that will allow you to open multiple documents and compare them with one another. This feature works great when working with other staff members on the same document.

1. Click on the Review tab
2. In the Compare Group, click Compare
3. Click Compare again
4. Enter the documents you want to compare
5. Click on OK
6. Now both documents are visible side by side in the same window
