Collecting the differences only

[Guest]

Is there a way to capture and print only the differences with line numbers or
section or paragraph numbers in a file instead of getting the entire document
with the changes highlighted?

My document is extermely large and I have to go through, manually, looking
for the differences and copying the change-lines to another file. This takes
a long time.

I appreciate you help.

Have you tried using the Print dialog box and in the Print What section,
selecting "List of Markup"?

Thanks Beth. Yes I did that. I sent the output to a print file, but when I
open the .prn file with NotePad, it's not discernable.

Did you select *.txt as the "Save as type"?

Thanks Suzanne. prn is the only "save as" option.
I tried saving it with "filename.txt" but the file was unreadable.

Sorry, my mistake. You must select a Generic (Text Only) printer to print
to.
