Simple questions updating binary files

Can you actually view the diffs in a binary file like a MS Word .doc, see
the changed lines, and then merge those changes? When I try to do that with
TortoiseSVN, I get jibberish when viewing the diffs and merges. I don't
think so, but maybe I'm wrong?

Also, using TortoiseSVN, what is the best way to replace your changed local
copy of a binary file with the latest copy in repository? When I try update,
it tells me there is a conflict, and won't let me update. When I try
Switch, it doesn't do anything because the files are in conflict. When I
try Update to revision, and specify the latest revision in the repos, it
still doesn't do anything, and leaves my local copy intact. If I delete the
file from windows explorer, and then update the project, it seems to be the
only way to do a replace. Is there something simple I'm not doing?

Thanks a bunch,

Adam
