Extract revised text from Word files

[Loido Kaar]

hi!



I am (on Word 2013 on Win10 and) trying to find a method to read Word files (I can do that), by paragraphs (can do that), with revisions. What I am unable to do is to read the (track changes) revised paragraphs in Word docs in a way that gives me 'original' (non-revised) and 'final' (revised) paragraphs. I have spent hours, and I see that we have a TextRetrievalMode, but this is only for fields/hidden text. It should be like 'copy original' and 'copy final' but ...

Any help appreciated!

The simple way is to:
1. reject all changes, then read the original file;
2. undo the reject all changes;
3. accept all changes, then read the final file;
4. undo the accept all changes.
