Compare with

MyOffice Text allows you to compare different versions of the same text file. This feature is supported for the following file formats: .docx, .odt, .xodt.

The Compare with feature displays the following changes made to the document:

  • Added and deleted text fragments.
  • Added, deleted, and edited tables.

This feature is not available for:

  • Table of contents
  • Header and footer content
  • Images
  • Footnotes
  • Text and audio comments
  • Page breaks and section breaks
  • Text and paragraph formatting

These elements and properties are transferred from the compared copy of the document to the comparison file without changes.

To compare documents, follow these steps:

  1. Open the document that you want to compare with the original one.

  2. Select the original document in one of the following ways:

    • Click the basic_menu button and run the Compare with (beta) command from the main menu.
    • On the Review tab, click t_review_compare_with Compare with… (beta).

  3. In the file explorer window, select the desired file.

A new window will open with the comparison results.
