Hi,
We frequently use Document Comparison tools to identify changes in very large documents and have used tools like Litera and Deltaview in the past since these were seen as the industry standard. Sometimes, if our doc comparison tool was unable to complete a comparison, we would grudgingly use the Word Compare and Merge feature instead. It always seemed to do a reasonable job with the comparison, albeit with fewer optional bells and whistles.
What we are really interested in is a solid reliable identification of the differences between two files – insertions, deletions, moves and format changes (less so). We are just about to move all our users to Office 2010, and my question is, just how good is the built-in document comparison feature to Word 2010? Does it stand up to standalone products like Litera??
I really look forward to hearing your opinions…
Thanks
Alba
