What do plus and minus signs mean in the report?
A minus sign marks removed text. A plus sign marks added text. The report follows the original-first and updated-second file order.
Does the comparison include formatting and pictures?
No. The tool compares main document text by paragraph. It does not compare fonts, images, comments or tracked-change markup.
Why does a long Word comparison stop?
Each document can contain up to 500 non-empty paragraphs. Very complex document content can also exceed the reading limit. Try shorter matching sections.
Helpful tip: Keep paragraph breaks consistent when you only want to compare wording changes.
