- One of the many 'powers that be' around here has taken a liking to the
- WordPerfect approach to marking document revisions where deletions
- are struck out and additions are shaded.
-
- Word comes close if you have 'mark revisions' set on, but if you want to
- compare two versions of an existing document Word will only highlight the
- changes on a paragraph by paragraph basis. It doesn't highlight the actual
- changes, it just marks the paragraph as changed.
-
- My question is (a) has anyone thrown together a macro to do revision
- highlighting in W4W (speed isn't and issue), or (2) can anyone point me
- to a third package that can compare and add the highlighting to existing
- documents (cost within reason isn't an issue).
-
- BTW, I do know that AmiPro will handle this just fine but I'd like to
- stick to Word for now.
-
- Thanks!
