Hi Anthony:

Usually, I turn off the formatting compare feature. Compare works much
better without that feature if you are trying to see changes to just
content.

1. From *Tools*, select *Compare and Merge* to access the *Compare and
Merge* window.
2. Locate and clear the *Find formatting check box* (on the bottom
right of the window).
3. Leave the *Legal Blackline check box* selected if you want to see
deleted and revised text.

Hope this helps!
PT

Hello Everyone,

I am using MS Word's Compare and Merge feature to
compare two versions of the same document at different
stages of its development. Thus far it seems to be
playing havoc with the order of the template's
numbering.

As most of my recent background has been with
FrameMaker this is my first time using the feature in
the 2003 SP2 version of MS Word.

Does this feature usually have adverse effects on a
document's formatting?

Thank you for the input.

- Anthony
