Features and functions of DocStyle Compare include:

QuickCompare
A core feature designed for fast document comparison, particularly when integrated with a Document Management System (DMS). Users can quickly locate and select files, including comparing open documents without requiring them to be saved or checked out.

Email Documents / Compare and Email
Enables attachment of files to Outlook messages either automatically during the comparison process or separately after completion. Filenames and file types for attachments (such as redline, original, or modified documents) can be adjusted prior to sending.

One to Many
Supports simultaneous comparison of a single document against up to five others. This bi-directional feature allows placing either the oldest or newest version in the original position for comparison purposes.

Drag & Drop
Facilitates the comparison process by allowing Word or PDF files to be dragged from the desktop or Outlook directly into DocStyle Compare, either onto the desktop icon or within the Compare Documents interface.

Right Click Compare
Allows comparison initiation directly from DMS interfaces, web interfaces, or Windows by selecting one or two files and choosing DocStyle Compare from the right-click menu. The tool also supports “Send to Application” for NetDocuments and access via the Compare Files button in Worldox.

Clipboard Compare
Enables comparison of specific paragraphs or text excerpts, commonly used for reviewing individual contract clauses without comparing entire documents.

Manage OptionSets
Allows saving, using, and reusing collections of comparison settings to customize output formatting. These saved configurations, similar to rendering sets in other tools, provide efficiency and consistency across multiple comparisons.

DMS Integration
Provides direct access to files stored within legal-specific Document Management Systems, supporting secure file browsing and selection. Integrated systems include:

• iManage Work 10

• NetDocuments

• Open Text eDOCS DM

• Worldox GX4

Save As
Allows saving redlined documents within a DMS as new versions, sub-versions, or attachments for future reference.

Print Pages with Changes
Generates a PDF containing only the pages where changes have occurred, streamlining review and printing. An additional option allows printing only document comments.

Magnify
Increases the display size of text showing document changes in the redline output, with multiple size options available.

Change View
Enables switching between traditional redline view, where changes are color-coded based on type (e.g., insertions or deletions), and Track Changes view, where revisions are linked to individual authors and assigned unique colors.

Accept / Reject Changes
Provides navigation through changes one by one, with the ability to accept or reject each modification directly within the document.

DocStyle Compare was formerly known as Novo Compare.
