Can a batch file be written to compare two documents in a word...I have a set of word documents in one folder and the edited version (MS Word Files) in another folder...Say these two folders have 100 word documents...For comparing documents in MS Word everytime I hav to go to Tools>Track Changes>Compare Documents>Edited Folder...It is time comsuming when I have to compare 100 documents...Can somebody write a batch file for me to compare documents in MS Word or is it possible to write a batch file in MS Dos. Sorry, I am not a programmer...Let ur ANSWERS be brief pls...The batch world has a COMP command which is geared MOSTLY for text files. Word files are extremely complex with control characters up the gazoo. By using Word to create the documents, it's best to USE Word for the comparisons.

Try recording a macro while doing one comparison manually. If you post the resulting macro, someone here might be able to help you create a full fledged script.

An affordable reliable macro recorder that I use is JitBit at HTTP://www.jitbit.com/macrorecorder.aspx

Very Powerful, and you can compile macros to EXE's to trigger from a batch routine...
