compare any two documents

[Princess Kitty]

I need a macro that will compare the active document with one the user
specifies. I found the code on MSDN but that only shows you how to compare
the active doc with one specified in the code. I need the user to be able to
specify the second doc.
Thank you.

You could use an Inputbox to allow user input, The text that is input could
then be used by the code as the location of the second file.

The following method was originally posted by fellow MVP, Jonathon West and
will allow the user to navigate to the desired file:

Public Function BrowseFile() As String
With Dialogs(wdDialogFileOpen)
If .Display <> -1 Then
BrowseFile = ""
Else
BrowseFile = WordBasic.FileNameInfo$(.Name, 1)
End If
End With
End Function

It returns the full pathname of the selected file, and a blank string if no
selection is made.
