Hi Scott,
From my resources and knowledge on Word, Microsoft Word can store only one
set of formatting changes at a time. Therefore, when you merge multiple
documents, you may be prompted to decide whether you want to keep the
formatting from the original document or use the formatting from the edited
document. If you don't need to track formatting changes, you can clear the
Find formatting check box in the Compare and Merge Documents dialog box.
Compare and merge documents
Open a document.
On the Tools menu, click Compare and Merge Documents.
Select the document that you want to compare to the copy that is currently
open.
Click the arrow next to Merge, and then do one of the following:
To display the results of the comparison in the selected document, click
Merge.
To display the results in the document that is currently open, click Merge
into current document.
To display the results in a new document, click Merge into new document.
Notes
To ensure the best possible merge results, make sure that the Store random
number to improve merge accuracy check box is selected on the Security tab
of the Options dialog box (click Options on the Tools menu).
If you've used the Versions command on the File menu to save multiple
versions of the document in one file, and you want to compare the current
version with an earlier one, you must first save the earlier version as a
separate file under a different name.
Please let me know if i can be of further assistance...
Thank You...
Raghu...
