How to find differences between two schedules

[dwills2]

I maintain a master integrated project schedule for a software development task with three separate, non-related organizations maintaining their own schedules. I receive their "latest" schedule bi-weekly via e-mail. Is there a way within Project to automatically highlight differences between the old and new scheules? Currently I cut and paste to Excel and visually try to find differences. Labor intensive. Master schedule is now over 3000 IDs long, and growing
Thanks

You didn't mention what version of Project you are using but there is an
add-in to compare Project files available for download from the MS web site.

Steve - would you point me to where this add-in is located? I've searched MS downloads, but not able to find this add-in.
