JohnDM 122 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 What is your best 3rd party program (preferably freeware) to tackle long notes that have conflicts where using ones own eyes is just not reasonable I have found WinMerge http://winmerge.org but I haven't tried it yet What are other people using and what is your Best Practice steps (I know this was discussed someplace else but I can't find it ) Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted August 10, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted August 10, 2014 For comparing source code at home and at work (pretty much on a daily basis), I use Beyond Compare (version 3; haven't tried out version 4 yet, which is still in beta), which I found to be better and more usable than WinMerge. Dunno about best practice, but the rare times I've needed / wanted to do this sort of thing I've exported the two offending files out to disk as .ENEX files, and gone at it with BC. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,524 Posted August 10, 2014 Level 5* Share Posted August 10, 2014 Winmerge will do the job once you get around the kind've obscure starting screens. I use that or Word 2013 (not exactly free) which will also highlight differences in text Link to comment
