Examples
The following code example uses the Compare method to compare the current document with the specified document and display revision marks to indicate where the documents differ. This example assumes that the file Sales1.doc exists on the current computer at the location C:\Docs. To use this example, run it from the ThisDocument class in a document-level project.
Private Sub DocumentCompare()
Me.Compare("C:\Docs\Sales1.doc", _
CompareTarget:=Word.WdCompareTarget.wdCompareTargetNew, _
AddToRecentFiles:=False)
End Sub
private void DocumentCompare()
{
object compareTarget = Word.WdCompareTarget.wdCompareTargetNew;
object addToRecentFiles = false;
this.Compare("C:\\Docs\\Sales1.doc", ref missing, ref compareTarget,
ref missing, ref missing, ref addToRecentFiles, ref missing,
ref missing);
