Comparing Sections Using Visual Compare

On the Document tab, click Compare and select the appropriate comparison.
Select the label for the first section you want to compare and click Visual Compare. The Visual Compare/Merge dialog will appear in order to compare the sections in depth.
The top pane displays the updated content of the section. In the bottom pane, the original content of the section displays in a read-only format. The changes that have been made to the content are highlighted in color so you can do an in-depth comparison on each listed section.
Select or deselect the check boxes beside Show differences in to include or ignore changes in paragraphs, cells and/or tables.
If desired, disable shading for specific cells or paragraphs by clicking the Details button and making the appropriate selection in the Visual Compare/Merge Detailed Differences dialog.
If applicable click Properties to access property dialogs, including the Cell Properties and Paragraph Properties dialogs, to review settings that apply to this content, though these properties cannot be modified.
To retain any content you do not want discarded, copy and paste from the previous content back into the document.
Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate through each revision in the section and decide whether to keep the change or to paste back the original text.
When the comparison is complete, click Close.

Notes

When comparing in the Form Mode the hidden paragraphs will not be considered when determining whether two sections or documents are different.
