Compare Documents (Compare Versions in Word 6.x and 7.x) does not recognize
formatting changes as revisions to your document. For example, changing the
font or paragraph characteristics; applying borders and shading; changing
column formatting; and adding bullets, numbering, or heading numbering are
not identified with revision marks when you run Compare Documents (or
Compare Versions).
In addition, Compare Documents (or Compare Versions) does not identify
additions or deletions of drawing objects, nor does it recognize changes to
text within a text box.
STATUS
By design, Compare Documents (or Compare Versions) recognizes text changes,
such as additions or deletions of text to your document, but Compare
Documents (or Compare Versions) does not mark formatting changes you make
to your text.
With regard to Compare Documents (or Compare Versions) not recognizing the
addition, deletion, or alteration of drawing layer objects, Microsoft has
confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article.
