If you're not interested in differences in formatting you could do (and I have on occasion done) this: Save each file as a plain text file in the same directory. Let's call one doc1.txt and the other doc2.txt. Open a DOS prompt in that directory and type: fc doc1.txt doc2.txt > diffs.txt Hit Enter (Return). Open diffs.txt and you'll see a list of the differences between the two documents (which you could print out, for example). This method may not work if the files are much too different.
