You could "make" it work. If you wanted to...
Simply by keeping the previous version of the form labelled with the
recipient's name in the same folder.
Of course, we both know that it would be far superior to post the form as a
web form in FrontPage so the user could fill in their own information to the
database :-)

Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately that would not work in our
situation. After the forms are filled out in the field, they are being
posted to a shared drive for data entry people who are using the info to
update a database. When an updated form is sent in by Agent 1 for example,
it will not necessarily be retrieved by the same data entry person who
received it the first time.

Personally, I would use "Compare Documents" to compare this week's against
last week's. Word will then automatically mark the differences for you very
accurately.

I have created a fill in form that is password protected for users in the
field to initially fill out and send back. This form will need to be
updated
periodically which means some of the information on the form will change and
some will stay the same. The plan is to have the user initially save the
filled in form and then pull it up each week, update the info for any field
that has changed and send it in. After receiving the updated form, I want
to
be able to open the document and see right away which fields were changed
and
contain new info. Is there any way to do this? For example: allow the user
to highlight the field that he changed or perhaps all changes appear in red?
