I used Compare 2 times already and it proved to be a good program. Now I have 2 documents and I’d like to combine them and make a third document on their basis. My question is: is it possible to make changes in a Word document directly in Compare Suite? I mean do the changes I make in the document opened in Compare Suite affect the Word document being compared?
Thank you for your question and here I would like to make things clear for you and for many other Compare Suite users. Actually CS converts files of different formats in simple text and then compares 2 versions. And the changes in simple text format do not affect the original source file. Therefore changes you make do not affect the original Word document.
But you can for example modify the text in Compare Suite and then copy and paste in Word document or in other supported format.
I advise you to look through the article Document Audit and Merging that covers such matters.
