I have used Word's document comparison feature to look at the difference between two documents. However, it has always been somewhat confusing and I have never really felt comfortable with it.

In my use of the beta version of Word 2007 I found a very functional and obvious implementation of the document comparison feature that rocks.



Four useful windows are provided. The main center windown contains a document with all of the changes marked for review, accept or reject as desired. The two windows on the right contain the two documents being compared. Finally the left hand window lists all of the changes. Click on a change to see that change location in each of the other windows.

The process provides all of the information needed in a clear and simple display. Great user interface design.
