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

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 button and run the Compare with (beta) command from the main menu.

•On the Review tab, click  Compare with… (beta).

•When working in macOS, run the Tools > Compare with… (beta) command from the command menu.

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

A new window will open with the comparison results.

In this document:

–Text fragments that have been added or deleted are displayed in the track changes mode.

–Each table whose content or structure has been modified is displayed as two tables: one deleted (highlighted in red) and one added (highlighted in green).

–The added tables are highlighted in green.

You can work with a document that contains comparison results in the same way as you would work with any other document.
