Re: Compare says document already has changes

I've encountered this message myself in Word 97 and to be perfectly
honest, I'm 100% why this occurs.
I suspect the first time you compare documents internal indicator is
added to the document that tells Word the document was previously
compared and this triggers the message even though there are no
changes to be ignored.
I do know this behavior doesn't occur in Word 2002/2003 since they
revised the Track Changes feature.
Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
