One thing that may surprise you is that TortoiseSVN - the primary GUI
for Windows - includes built-in scripts to show visual Diff/Compare of
binary files for Microsoft Word and (I believe) Open Office as well
using those applications' existing "compare documents" features.
So, you're right as far as pictures and presentations go, no change
highlights. But for the text inside your Open Office documents, you may
be able to highlight changes between revisions.

Subject: Subversion for graduation thesis / documents
Hi,
I will start to write my graduation thesis very soon, most probably I'll
have to write it at home and at my own laptop. I was thinking about
Subversion as a tool to keep both versions consistent, I do know that a
version control can't highlight changes in pictures or binary documents
and that kind of stuff, I'm more interested in administrating file
versions.
Has anyone ever done so? I'd like to know if this is practical and
secure regarding data loss (because of possible Subversion bugs, data
will be backed up via USB stick anyway). Files to be administrated will
be mostly pictures, OpenOffice documents and maybe some presentations.
Thanks
Maik
