That's OK if you have Acrobat Pro, but most Word users don't (version 8 is available as a free download from: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/46...at-8-free.html - note the serial# mentioned there).

The simplest way to make the comparison would be to convert the tables in a copy of the original document to text, without making any other changes, then compare that copy against the reformatted document.
