Document comparing in Word

If you compare two documents - both with changes in - which docuemnt overides which when you compare?

RE: Document comparing in Word

Hi Alison,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Sorry for the delay in responding to you.

The legal blackline option compares two documents and displays only what has changed between them. The documents that are being compared are not changed. The legal blackline comparison is displayed in a new document.

However if you do not want this result and want to compare changes from all reviewers, then don't select the blackline option. To enable changes for multiple reviewers, click Combine revisions from multiple authors instead.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
