Why?

Why use Text Compare?

Text Compare lets you go far beyond Word’s built-in comparison tool, enabling flexible, accurate comparisons between text snippets, clauses, PDFs and Word files.

✅ When you should use it:

• To compare different file types Easily compare a Word document with a PDF, something Word can’t do on its own.

• To track subtle wording edits Quickly detect insertions, deletions or rewordings, even in small text snippets.

• To review counterparty changes Identify changes in a contract sent back by the counterparty, even if formatting or structure has changed.

❌ When you shouldn’t use it:

• If you're working with poorly scanned PDFs OCR errors may lead to noise and false positives in the comparison results.

• If formatting details are critical ClauseBuddy focuses on textual changes, precise formatting differences may not be fully preserved.
