Compare selected content
You can use Selective Compare to run a comparison on snippets of content pasted from emails, chats or files. This is much faster and more focused than comparing an entire document. Content can include text, tables, code and images and results are displayed in the familiar Compare environment.
To compare selected content:
- From within Microsoft Word, open the Workshare tab.
- Click Selective Compare.
- Drag the content you want to compare into the Original area or click in the area to paste your content there. The content can include text, images, tables, code.
- In the Modified area, drag or paste the content you want to compare with the original content.
