Is there an Add-In for VSS 6 that will allow differencing of Word.

Among quite a variety of things we keep in Visual SourceSafe are MS Word
documents. Within VSS, one can determine that two versions of a document
differ, but unfortunately no details are available. I ran across hints in
Google Groups that there might have once been an Add-in for Word97, but have

Hi =?Utf-8?B?U0RN?=,

Word, itself, has a feature that will compare two documents (Tools/Merge
document). Other than that, I believe there is third-party software that can do
comparisons (outside of Word), but I don't recall the names of the software. If
that interests you, you might try asking in a group with less traffic, such as
word.formatting.longdocs or, perhaps, word.newusers
