Word 2007 diff error and solution

There is an error in: diff-docx.js

I've just started using your product and I wasn't really expecting it to be able to diff word files, but I decided it wouldn't hurt to try.

To my surprise it actually did diff the word files, but it put them in the wrong order. The 'revised' file was really the previous version, so all the changes were reversed (something that had been added, was showing as removed, etc). I corrected this problem by changing the following lines in the diff-docx.js file:
 
//sBaseDoc = objArgs(0); <-- commented these out
//sNewDoc = objArgs(1);
sBaseDoc = objArgs(1); <-- added these
sNewDoc = objArgs(0);

This works great for me (because I'm using Office 2007, which goes down a different path at the end of the script than earlier versions), but I'm not sure it is the complete solution for all word diffs. Assuming what you had worked for earlier versions, anyway, I just thought I would let you know.
