Identify document changes quickly and accurately with the leading document comparison technology. Workshare Compare Basic is an easy to use document comparison tool designed for small and home office users.
Compare Documents for Changes and Accuracy
Document Comparison
In one view, you can see your original and modified documents, the Redline document and a summary of the changes. You can even compare an original document against several different modified documents and view the Redline document for each comparison in a different tab.
Compare One Document to Multiple Versions
Compare more than two documents at one time including comparing DOC and DOCX file formats.
Accurate Change Tracking
Accurately compare complex documents (100+ pages) at the paragraph, line, character and word level.
Comparison Speed
Running a document comparison is 8x-10x faster than the original DeltaView comparison engine.
Easily Navigate Through Changes
You can move between document changes in the Redline document by jumping from change to change or searching for a specific change using change numbers or keywords.
Save Your Comparison
Save the comparison as a Workshare Compare DeltaFile (.WDF), which contains all three documents (original, modified and Redline). You can also save just the Redline document as a DOC/DOCX, RTF, HTML, TXT or PDF file.
Synchronized 3-Pane View
A synchronized 3-pane view allows you to view changes from multiple documents at the same time.
Document Redlining Made Simple
Select different rendering sets to determine how the changes are highlighted within the document. Workshare Compare Basic includes several different rendering sets that you can apply as required, or you can modify these rendering sets, or create your own rendering set.
Integrated With Microsoft Outlook
When you receive an email with a DOC, DOCX or RTF attachment, the "Compare Attachment with Workshare" button is conveniently displayed at the bottom of the email.
Unicode Compliance
Complete support for Unicode language documents and operating systems.
Secure, Open XML Document Exchange
Interoperability and compatibility between Office 2007 and previous Office version file formats ensure business continuity and reduced support regardless of the file format version used and exchanged.
Language Support
Workshare Compare Basic only supports English language environments.
