About the Word File Compare
When a contract, report or assignment comes back edited without tracked changes, finding what was changed is painful. The ToolSandook Word File Compare tool reads both .docx files and shows every difference.
Choose the original and the changed document, then compare by paragraphs or by words. Changed paragraphs are shown side by side with the exact words that changed highlighted. The files are read in your browser and are never uploaded.
How to use the Word File Compare

Frequently asked questions
Does it compare formatting?
No. It compares the text only. Changes to fonts, colours, images or layout are not shown.
Can I compare old .doc files?
Not directly. Open the file in Word or Google Docs and save it as .docx first.
Is this the same as Track Changes?
It gives a similar result when Track Changes was not used: you see what was removed and added between the two versions.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. Both files are read in your browser and never leave your device.
