winword.exe /n /mCompareDocuments <file1> <file2>

The /n will start a new instance of word so it doesn't interfere with
anything you are already doing, /m runs a macro which you would have to
have previously defined in Normal.dot.

The macro might be something like the following:

Sub CompareDocuments()
    Dim OtherDoc As String
    For Each doc In Application.Documents
        If doc.Name <> ActiveDocument.Name Then
            OtherDoc = doc.Name
            doc.Close
        End If
    Next doc
    ActiveDocument.Compare Name:=OtherDoc
End Sub

Error checking, marking the activedocument as readonly and not modified and
so on are left as an exercise for the reader.
