It's as simple as the title states. I have 2 docx files I need to compare, and I want to see all the differences BUT punctuation marks (commas, periods, etc.), as there are too many of them and I'm not going to take these anyway.

How can I do that?

Thanks

  1. Load the two docx files in Beyond Compare.
  2. Click the Rules toolbar button (referee icon).
  3. Go to the Importance tab.
  4. Under Unimportant Text, click +.
  5. Text to find: ,
  6. Click OK until you're back to the main window.

Repeat for each additional punctuation type.

If View > Ignore Unimportant Differences is on, unimportant differences will show as a match, if it is off they will show in blue.
