【566】Using Office Word to compare two files and implement the effect of REVIEW

REF: Microsoft Word Tips: Comparing Two Documents

　　While the background of this blog begins with the review by Prof. Lim through Overleaf. He finished the review and can track changes, then I accepted all changes. But the issue is that I also have a changed version, so I have to edit my version with his edits. That's the reason why I write this blog.

1. Prepare two files of .docx, maybe with names, 1.docx and 2.docx.
   
   
2. Go to Review > Compare on the main ribbon
   
   
3. Select Compare from the dropdown menu
   
   
   
   
4. Choose the original version of the document (maybe 1.docx) in the Original document section of the menu (click the file symbol (recommended) or pick Browse from the dropdown)
   
   
5. Select the edited version (maybe 2.docx) from the Revised document menu
   
   
6. Select which changes you want to highlight and how you want them to be shown (we recommend displaying changes in a new document)
   
   
7. Click OK to comapre the documents and see the differences
   
   
   
   
8. Then a new file is created with changes in it
