Description felixcollins 2004-05-11 04:46:31 UTC 
Run something like the following 
soffice.exe -writer -compare doc1.sxw doc2.sxw

This would simply open an instance of the ui showing the compare for the user to
merge.

This feature would be exceptionally useful for version controlled OO documents.
 I have had a poke around in the list archives and it seems that a few people
have asked how to do this and got no where.  People were even talking about
unzipping the sxw file and comparing the raw xml files!

The compare functionality is implemented already so this should be a failry
simple addition.

Thanks,
Felix

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
