word 2007 hangs when combining documents

[J.F. Larente]

I am trying to use the "Combine" feature.

I select the original document as well as the revised version. winword.exe
starts using 50% CPU and continues that way until I stop it.
I waited 25 minutes before I cancelled the operation.

The document itself is 16 pages and did not include many comments.

This feature would be very helpful.

Thanks!

J.F.
