The Compare feature is neat and does work as it is supposed to. It will
highlight for you the difference between the two documents.
The only thing to watch out for is that it indicates that an entire sentence
has changed. It will not point to the exact change. You will have to compare
the sentences.
Also, be careful when picking a main document. You can have Word keep the
changes, so you want to make sure that you update the correct document.
