Combing comments from Word 2007 & 2010+

[vbmichelle]

Hello,



I have two questions:

1) Does anyone know if there are there any issues combining comments from different versions Word? I need to combine comments from 2007 and 2010 documents.

2) Do the files you are combining have to use the same file name? I will be combining comments from several different sources, each using a slightly different file name, and want to know if this will present any issues.

Thanks you for your help.

1. You should be able to use Review tab | Compare | Combine. This command combines revisions from several authors into one document. Modifications become tracked changes in the resulting document.

2. Filenames don't have to the identical. Personally I find it easier to work with different filenames, because it is easier to tell the source documents apart.

Thank you, Stefan. Regarding #1, but are there any known issues to using this feature using different versions of Word?

No, as far as I can remember, the feature is the same in Word 2007, 2010 and 2013.
