Question
Is it possible to call Word 2003's Tools > Compare and Merge Documents..." function from C# and to get feedback whether any differences were found or not?
What I have found so far
It is possible to call the functionality like this. But I don't know how to get feedback whether the were any differences found.
private void CompareAndMergeWithFileB(string fullFilePath)
{
string FileName = fullFilePath;
object MergeTarget = WdMergeTarget.wdMergeTargetSelected;
object DetectFormatChanges = false;
object UseFormattingFrom = WdUseFormattingFrom.wdFormattingFromPrompt;
object AddToRecentFiles = true;
word.ActiveDocument.Merge(FileName, MergeTarget, DetectFormatChanges, UseFormattingFrom, AddToRecentFiles);
}
Solution
Absolutely. Once the merge is complete, work with the Revisions collection to extract details about any changes.
