No.  Your best bet is to use MS Word (Tools | Track
Changes | Compare Documents).  More work would be to
save both documents as plain text files and do a
compare using diff.

Hi,
Is there any windiff program in cygwin where I can
compare two MS WORD 
*.doc for their differences?
TIA,
Aldi

There is a windiff program in windows:
http://stude.nt.fsb.hr/download/shareware/tools/ms%20windiff/
but I don't think it groks word files...  You'd probably be able to see
differences in the text, but not in formatting.

Whoops, sorry, an extra ".".  How'd that get there? O:)
Anyway, the correct URL is
http://student.fsb.hr/download/shareware/tools/ms%20windiff/
which was actually just the first match from
http://www.google.com/search?q=windiff+download

This gives a "missing library GUtils.dll" error.

I suspect this is the Windiff that came as part of MS Visual C++, and 
this person simply hasn't collected up enough stuff to make it run. 
Besides, is Visual C++'s Windiff really "shareware"? I doubt it.

AFAIK, it's freeware.  I downloaded my copy directly from Microsoft at
some point, but can't remember the location where I got it.  Something
like "tool samples", I believe.  Anyway, you're right about the missing
dll.  Here's another link that has all three files:

As far as I can tell from the Visual C++ license, compiled versions of the
samples can be provided for free.

Windiff is part of the Platform SDK Tools, which is free.
