Last time I did something like this, I used the Command
Prompt box and entered the "fc" command, such as:

fc [d:]\[folder][filename1] [d:]\[folder][filename2]

For further clarification on how to use it, type "fc /?"
(minus the quotes) at the command prompt.

Compares side by side, make a difference file, right click menu integration,
difference snipit copying. Very excellent program
 
If you have MSWord you may wish to use that. In Word 2000 it is at Tools menu, Track Changes, Compare Documents. See Help. Basically you open one and click Compare Documents and select the second file. You get a file with deleted text with red line through it and added text in green or something (See Tools menu, Options, Track Changes tab).
