If you're interested in diff-ing the _text_ itself, you can use the textconv filter of Git, together with antiword (or catdoc, which does the same thing, but I think antiword works better). See this: http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitTips#HowtousegittotrackOpenDocument.28OpenOffice.2CKoffice.29files.3F and adapt by replacing "OpenOffice" with MS Word, and odt2txt with antiword. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
