Margaret,
If you are manually 'redlining' (marking differences between two versions of
a document), you should look into a program called DocuCompII. This software
will compare two versions of a document and will output a third, composite
document that shows what text has been removed, inserted or moved. With this
software you can concentrate on editing the document, then quickly generate
the redlined copy. The software recognizes a variety of word processor formats,
including Word (both DOS and Windows).
For more information (and possibly a demo copy) contact:

I use this program quite often, and I'm quite satisfied with its performance.
