"compare documents" opens a new document? Why?

I am new to Office 2004 and I find it disappointing that the TOOLS
command "compare documents" opens a new document. I liked what I
recall in former Word versions- selecting one document to compare with
another highlights the changes in the existing document. I like saving
original files with "created on" and "last modified" dates.
Does anyone know if I can disable this or control it?
