Subject:Comparing a list of values? From:Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca> To:TECHWR-L <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com>, "A.H." <isaac840 -at- yahoo -dot- com> Date:Fri, 23 Mar 2007 12:59:05 -0400
Anthony Hernandez wondered: <<I've got an Excel doc with two
worksheets: one with a list of (225) forms and associated URLs and
another with new (275) forms. I need to compare them and output the
difference.>>
Here's a kludgy way: export the files as tab-delimited text (or copy
and paste) so you can create a separate Word file containing each
worksheet. Then Tools-->Track Changes-->Compare Documents.
