many thanks for your message
well, to me it feels a sort of natural to expect that Word
would show by default (like review pane) the changes (until
they are accepted) since a doc in under version control.
(which it does but only for comments like I mentioned earlier).
Diff works fine, although the add-on in Word I use struggle
a bit and there is no way to choose versions to diff between
- is there a good/complete add-on for Word (rest of the
Office) you could recommend?
What I am hoping for is a bit more features/integration
within Word so people would not have to go to Tortoise
itself (we know users, regular folks). Or maybe newer Office
does it better, I use 2007?

Similarly, if you "Show Log" on any file you can just select two versions and click on "Compare Revisions" from the right-click menu. In either case, the two versions will show up in a Microsoft Word diff view.
