The first part if an XYplorer script that gets the file paths for the selected files and then passes that on to the second part.

This is all fine and good, but as someone who is usually working with the files directly in XYplorer (my Windows file manager of choice), I figured it was more efficient to trigger it from within the app. Normally, you would open Word, navigate to each file in turn and trigger the compare. In these scenarios, we can fall back to Word’s document compare feature to identify the changes. Unfortunately from time to time, people send me document revisions where they have neglected to enable track changes, and it is important to identify what has actually changed. It has to be purposefully enabled as it can make documents confusing and cumbersome for those who don’t fully understand how to use it. Word of course comes with it’s own built-in version tracking feature, but by default this feature is enabled.

A lot of my work revolves around documentation and in business, Microsoft Word documents still rule.
