= SUMMARY =

DocuComp can provide a detailed comparison of two versions of a document in four different ways:

  Comparison window Both documents being compared are shown simultaneously on two panes of a window. All of the differences between them can be scanned rapidly. This feature is described in the chapter titled “The Comparison Window” on page 29 in the “DocuComp Automatic Document Comparison Program” manual.   Saved composite documents The comparison can be saved in a format that a word processing program can read. Then the word processing program can edit or print it.   Printed composite document While in DocuComp, a comparison can be printed directly, without using a word processing program. This feature is also described in the chapter “The Comparison Window.”   Comparison summary DocuComp can generate a summary that lists all the differences between the documents being compared. The types of differences are shown (for example, insertion, deletion, etc.) along with part of the text that was changed.
