I have a large document that I sent to a friend for proofreading. That friend decided to save it as plain text and make the changes that way (don’t ask me why, I guess she’s old school). So, I’m trying to use the compare documents feature to pull those changes back in.
If I open the original document first, and then do Edit > Compare Documents…, the changes show up as if the original is the new one (what was inserted shows as deleted, etc.)
If I open the revised document first, the changes show up okay, but then the document is all in plain text. But, I want my headings, my block quotes, my italics, and all of that to stay.
Is there anyway to reverse the compare document feature, so I can start with the document that has the correct styles? Is there some way I can include the styles in the list of changes that I can accept and reject?
